    PHP? Frameworks?

    Excellent point, it's hard to keep old blog posts up to date with the changes in the languages. I remember someone looked at an old article I wrote once and complained I was using addslashes/stripslashes instead of mysqli_real_escape_string. In older versions of PHP (gah this shows how old I am...

    What Size Do You Make Your Background Images?

    I do them based on browser display sizes. I take the most popular one and go up one size from that and then optimize the image for the smallest file size I can get so it loads as quickly as possible. https://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp Also if you have a lot of mobile users...

    How advanced to you plan out your inventory systems?

    I make a two part inventory system. One table is the items and all the details about the items. The other table is the user's inventory of the items that keeps track of which items they have and how many uses they have. It's pretty simple and also highly flexible, customizable and expandable.

    What size of item image works best?

    It really depends on the number of items you plan to have in your game. The more items you have the smaller they should be, especially if you're going to try and list them all on say an inventory page. Larger items not only take up more disk space they consume a whole lot more bandwidth.

    Looking for a new server host, any recommendations?

I run 15 servers there and I have virtually no downtime. Only costs...
