Board Game Arena

My name is Anderson, and I'm the designer of Rio 1808 (BGG) and Airport Rush (BGG).

I'm currently looking for help to implement both games on Board Game Arena (BGA). I have all the assets ready — illustrations, components, and complete game files. What I really need is support with the programming side.

I have some experience with HTML and CSS, but PHP is outside my comfort zone. If you're familiar with BGA development or interested in collaborating, I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks in advance!

So do you expect someone that can help with the php side while you do the HTML and CSS parts? What about JavaScript?

Hello, have you already tried to work on the tutorial projects in the Studio ?

You need some XP working with databases, algorithmics for the back end side.
You need some XP working with dynamic display ( responsive & Javascript ) and animations on the front end.

If you're starting from scratch, it might be a litle too difficult...

Oh yeah, I didn't realize I also lack JS experience, in my case. It would be nice to have someone who could help with that too.

Yes, I tried to do something using Studio, but I got stuck right away, with the installations that were necessary to do the bare minimum. It's really not something I'm proficient at, and to avoid spending months trying it alone, I preferred to ask for help.

It's all a bit vague what you're actually asking for...
I think the general question is, specifically what kind of help are looking for?
A developer to all the project (with your help),
OR someone to help you develop, or perhaps co-develop ?

The framework is essentially very bewildering on first look. I would just look at 2 files to start with.
The game.js file - the client UI side. Front end.
The game.php - the server side and game logic. Back end.

Perhaps the states.php as well gives a good view of how the game is broken down into turns and actions.
