Overview

Audio trailer on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6thfiGb-b7c

A lot of work has gone into this, but it not a fully documented project.

It's been through years of development with this being its 3rd itteration.

The project is not under active development with milestones in-place.

It is built upon the https://fuelphp.com MVC framework.

Main Features

Audio AI (woman, same as trailer) voice speaks when interacting with the game
Futuristic minimalistic Bootstrap-based UI, mobile ready, made to feel like an app
Point and click based missions with servers of multiple types (file servers, email and database)
In-game Mission designer with BBCode like syntax features
Upgradable knowledge & skills
Rewards system

Simple Setup

You need a webserver (e.g. MAMP/WAMP/XAMPP) able to run PHP (tested with 7.3) and an MySQL database (LAMP stack).

Install composer (the PHP dependency management system - brew install composer for MacOS) and run composer install
You will need to create an empty Database in MySQL - it's name is not relevant but you will need it in the next step. For MAMP, you would go to http://localhost:8888/phpMyAdmin5
Visit http://localhost/public_html - this may be different if you are using another port or directory structure, e.g. http://localhost:8888/sr/public_html and follow the setup process

Cron jobs

You may want to setup cron tasks to run the following pages once in a while

your-url/cron/rankings

your-url/cron/emails

e.g.

*/2 * * * * wget -O - http://localhost/cron/emails >/dev/null 2>&1

Secret Republic V3 (OLDER W/ MORE FEATURES)

V3 is much older, less organized and not respecting of any patterns what-so-ever in code, mostly based on a framework written from scratch.
