# Dragon Forks
Many years ago, when I was young and dumb, I wrote a simple little game based on the game *Dragon Warrior* for the NES. It was fun, it helped me learn how to code, and a lot of people liked it.
I am now turning it over to the open source community. Fork it, do what you want, make it your own.
Couple things to keep in mind though:
- It's super old. It may not even work on modern versions of PHP. It may have security issues. I have no idea.
- I have moved on with my life, and am no longer changing or doing anything with this game.
- I am not providing help or support. You're on your own.
- I am not accepting pull requests. If you fork this, you are welcome to do whatever you want, but no changes will be merged back into this.
- Quite frankly, I don't really suggest that you use this as is. It's probably better as an inspiration for your own project.
- Have fun with this. I gave it a lot of love a long time ago. I hope it inspires you to give something a lot of love as well.
- This Git repo represents the final released version, 1.1.11, originally released 3/26/2006.
A long time ago, when I was young and wanted to learn how to code, I discovered a small PHP game, [Dragon Knight](https://github.com/renderse7en/dragon-knight) by renderse7en. It was a little game inspired on a game I never played (*Dragon Warrior* for the NES), and it was a fun little text-based RPG game. It had a small community that created mods, variant of the game, etc. It wasn't open-source, but it helped a lot of us to learn.
He has since turned it to the open-source community under the MIT licence, and I decided to do a fork in order to try revive the engine ! It's a fun little side-project, so it might not evolve very fast, it'll depend of my motivation.
The aim of this fork is to :
- Make it work with PHP 8
- Make it more secure (modern database practice, better encryption of password, of cookies, etc)
- Use a more modern code structure
- Use more modern librairies to handle some functionnalities (templating for instance with twig)
- Implement the functionnalities of the most popular mods and of dragon-scourge
I'm inspired by other forks of dragon knight and scourge that tried the same things several years ago. I'm starting with knight, because it's a simpler engine to begin with and modernize.
