I was browsing the Frihost forums this morning, and I stumbled on a cool Javascript game.

One of the Frihost users and his friend made a 3d Worm game. Although the directions are in Spanish (as is the source code), the game is pretty cool. It’s a good example of what you can accomplish with some Javascript/DOM trickery.

In a recent post, I sketched out how to use Javascript to build a gameboard for a browser-based game - specifically Tic Tac Toe. After a little tweaking, I’ve worked this into a functioning Tic Tac Toe board.

In this post, we’ll explore the code used to set up this board. Once that’s done, the next step will be to create a php script to evaluate some of the game’s logic.

A thorough knowledge of Javascript can give you tremendous control over what happens on a website. Combined with PHP through an AJAX request, you can make some pretty nifty browser-based games.

This tutorial will focus on the first part of making a basic board game - creating a board. The end result will be a three by three game board suitable for use in developing a tic-tac-toe game.
