Code the classics

This project aims to port into PHP the games of Code the classics Vol. 1 originally developed in Python.

It's not a web game with the backend in PHP but a fully PHP game.

It is possible thanks to the Php-SDL extension. You need also two PHP extensions for SDL_mixer (sound) and SDL_image (multiple image format loader).

Porting status

• Boing! [Ready]
• Cavern [Ready]
• Infinite bunner [Ready 99%]
• Myriapod [Playable 95%]
• Substitute Soccer [TBD]
