• How relevant is PHP today for browser games?

  - by Bitgarden

  I was the lead developer of 2 moderately successful browser games quite a few years back, and plan on working on a new game soon. At the time, I wrote them in pure PHP (no template engine or anything of the sort). I'd like to start working on a new game, but have been out of the web development world for a while. Reading around, I hear a lot of good about Rails, Django, Node.js, etc., with which I have no experience (although I know my way around Python, Javascript, and the others quite well). So my question is the following- if I were to go in my old ways and go with PHP again, would I be making things hard for myself? Would picking something more "trendy" have a real impact on my development? In addition, does anyone have any pointers relating to specifically developing browser games with these more modern tools?

• Initializing a char array through passed pointer segfaults

  - by Bitgarden

  Ie., why does the following work: char* char_array(size_t size){ return new char[size]; } int main(){ const char* foo = "foo"; size_t len = strlen(foo); char* bar=char_array(len); memset(bar, 0, len+1); } But the following segfaults: void char_array(char* out, size_t size){ out= new char[size]; } int main(){ const char* foo = "foo"; size_t len = strlen(foo); char* bar; char_array(bar, len); memset(bar, 0, len+1); }
