The BuildingBrowsergames blog has had a long series of entries showing how to build an online game. Each entry has thus far been completed first in PHP and then again using Perl. This is my blog entry which has an overview and key for the entire series of postings and it serves as an announcement that I've started converting all the entries over to Ruby on Rails as well.

It is great that someone takes the time to create a blog series on how to create an application, but when the entries only contain horrible code examples; well lets just say they should have spent the time doing something else. It is exactly sites like this that is the cause there is 99 terrible PHP programmers for each good one.

Dude! Please do your own version. Show the other PHP developers how they should be doing it. Should they be using CakePHP or doing something object oriented or something else. Do what I'm doing with the Rails version and show a better, easier way to achieve the same results. It would be welcomed by both Luke and me. Seriously.

For anyone interested I would like to point out that Luke was very generous to allow me to post my own blog entries on his blog after I approached him about adding Ruby on Rails as an alternate language. Since that time we've created a Google Code repository where we are putting the code for all three existing versions for easy open source access. There's certainly room for other versions of the same thing or you could approach Luke with articles about other PBBG topics and I think he would be very open to them.
