Re: Building Browsergames: The Login Page (Perl)

Hi,

I can't get the crypt part of the tut to work. It always returns 0 rows:$sql->execute($args{login_username},crypt($args{login_password},$args{login_username}));

but just parsing $args{login_password} does work. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thanks!

Re: Building Browsergames: Securing our hashes (PHP)

ValerioDeCamillis — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:44:49 -0000

Well, this post is 2 years old now, but still for those reading it now: this is not the proper way of storing salted hashes.

The real purpose of salt is to render hashes of the same password different from each other so that if two users have the same password their hashed values would still look different.

A proper implementation would add a random salt generated on the fly for each user, and store that value in a 'salt' column in the db.

Then you can compute the proper hash fetching the salt associated with the username, then joining it with the password the user typed in.

Disqus is too laggy today for me to write proper code, but i doubt anyone will be reading this anyway.

Dan Alex — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 08:20:46 -0000

i still dont understand why did you do such a "special" item case... the tables would go easier with item(id , name , atk, def , etc...) | invetory wich gets items id from items database and battle wich also gets items id... and the system would be the same you change something in items table and it would change every where...

Luke Bullard — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:08:37 -0000

You only hash the stuff that you don't want to show in the future, but want to compare with user input. Passwords are pretty much the only thing, so no.
Do not hash everything else.

I visited this site a long time ago when I first wanted to learn PHP. Now I'm back and ready to learn again. You're tutorials are great! They're nearly always easy to follow, informative, well written and just overall really really great.

It's sad to hear things haven't worked out right? Is there any possibility of things getting better, or is that a definite no?

I wish the best of luck to you. You've done some great work.

Re: Building Browsergames: Getting started with a templating system (PHP)

Luke,

I hardly have any HTML knowledge and your guide so far was a real gem and it got me super motivated every step of the way. I made some minor mistakes, managed to find and fix um, and with hardly any HTML knowledge I mean 12 hours of HTML learning :).

Unfortunately this is where I'll have to drop this very nice course. Not everybody has a local server, which according to my acquaintances is necessary to run something like Smarty.

Thank you for teaching many people the basics and it's really too bad that I can't do much else now here.

Best of luck with your great site!

The Rails version of the tutorials is awesome!

I've written pretty similar functionality using devise, with the main difference being that I don't add anything to the users table, I have support for multiple characters instead so the stats and attributes are stored independently of the user.

authlogic is good too but I found devise to be more actively developed and it works great with Rails 3.0.
