php/mysql games are generally low load games, its just depends on the amount of users that play it but if theres a lot of users u'll reach ur bandwidth limit

 

[Greik Ancient]

Know where theres tutorials for making one?

 

[Corey]

The server should be fine.

The only thing about the games is sometimes they require cron running every 5 minutes or so which may affect the server.

Or every hour.... Or every 24 hours at midnight...

 

[Corey]

Well, running every 5 minutes might get your account suspended

I have found this little php script that act as cron.

Features:

runs any PHP script
periodical or time-controlled script execution
logs all executed jobs
can be run from an IMG tag in an HTML page
follows Unix cron syntax for crontabs
sends an email with the results​

Usage:

Modify the variables in the config section below to match your server.
Write a PHP script that does the job you want to be run regularly. Be sure that any paths in it are relative to the script that include()s pseudo-cron.
Set up your crontab file with your script
Include pseudo-cron.inc.php in a high traffic page
Wait for the next scheduled run ​

Note:

You can log messages from your job script to pseudo-cron's log file by calling logMessage("log a message")​

This script will only make cron jobs when someone visites site and its time to do a job, so server wont have to do it itself.
