Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karan" data-source="post: 3310354" data-attributes="member: 49389">This approach is interesting indeed! But I thought the aim was to create a standalone framework which can be expanded easily by new databases. My approach is actually to create a DLL with a couple of tools, that use the functions of this dll to create characters, monsters, to simulate combats or whatever. My database is Microsoft Access. I chose this one because nearly every computer thisdays has Microsoft Office, but it wouldn't be a big problem to change to MySQL instead.The advantage is, that everyone, who can use a database, can expand the system for new classes, races, etc. There isn't need to change any line of code to ensure compatibility with new material added to the system.I think the big problem here is that it isn't simply clear, what kind of application we want. As I read your post, Michael, I had the idea of an combined system: A server, which can create you characters or whatever online, based upon your php framework. And if someone wants a standalone package, he/she can simply download my dll, along with all databases actually needed. This would prerequisite, that we use the same database to avoid any conflicts ...As I think further of this idea, I got shaken by the extensibility and the coverage of this task  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />But it would also be interesting, wouldn't it?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
