Does anyone have ideas or suggestions for what software (preferably PHP) we can use to run a simple community game with a storyline and achievements? We could probably do it with a forum software with mods, but not sure. Here's the basic structure we are thinking: Each level has a couple of quizzes/challenges where users can earn points if answered correctly. With enough points, the user gets access to the next level and next set of quizzes/challenges (thus the points/acheivements system unlocks the permissions settings for the next level.) I've looked around and seems some forums do this, but I haven't found a specific platform and set of mods that will make this work. any suggestions are appreciated!!
also the ability for users to have "currency" which they can use in exchange for prizes or "lifeline" hints would also be features we want to add!
Are you looking for free options? I dont think a php game engine/software exists to meet your needs, your best bet is to get a custom engine made.
