It was fun, it helped me learn how to code, and a lot of people liked it. + +After that, I begin writing a sequel, of sorts, called Dragon Scourge. I never really finished that game. Life got in the way. Got married. Got a job. Had kids. All that. + +I'm now turning it over to the open source community. + +As with Dragon Knight before it, please keep some things in mind: +- It's super old. It may not even work on modern versions of PHP. It may have security issues. I have no idea. +- I have moved on with my life, and am no longer changing or doing anything with this game. +- I am not providing help or support. You're on your own. +- I am not accepting pull requests. If you fork this, you are welcome to do whatever you want, but no changes will be merged back into this. +- Quite frankly, I don't really suggest that you use this as is. It's probably better as an inspiration for your own project. +- Have fun with this. I gave it a lot of love a long time ago. I hope it inspires you to give something a lot of love as well. +- This Git repo represents the final released version, Beta 5 Build 20, originally released 9/2/2007. + +# System Requirements +- PHP (4.1 and higher) +- MySQL +- zlib compression enabled on your server (optional) + +# Installation Instructions +1. Clone this repo or download the zip. +2. Create a new database for Dragon Scourge to use, if you don't already have one set up. +3. Edit `config.php` to include the correct values for your database setup. +4. Upload the contents of the Dragon Knight folder to your site. +5. Using a MySQL client such as HeidiSQL or PHPMyAdmin, run the contents of `install.sql` on the database you created. +7. Enjoy the game. + +# License +MIT License + +Copyright (c) 2017 renderse7en + +Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy +of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal +in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights +to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell +copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is +furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: + +The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all +copies or substantial portions of the Software. + +THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR +IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
