Magbor.tws is a TextPad Workspace file. I used TextPad to develop this
whole game, and I used that file to open all of the PHP and JS files
at once. Feel free to ignore or delete it, it will not break anything.
=REQUIREMENTS===============================================================
Server-side:
Apache is recommended, but any web server should work fine.
PHP 4 or 5 (I used 5.1.2)
MySQL (I used 5.0.20)
Client-side:
Web browser with JavaScript and CSS enabled.
Tested on IE 6 and Firefox 1.5 - Firefox is recommended
=EXTRA NOTE=================================================================
Because this was a personal experiment, and I wasn't initially planning on
submitting it to SourceForge, the code is a mess. I'm sure you will have
plenty of suggestions on how to write it better, etc. Please hold those
suggestions until after the next version, when I will have it cleaned up
and much more efficient. I just wanted to go ahead and get my working
example out on the internet for everyone to see.

finding weird bugs (and getting the idea of coloring a character
green like the grass)
