Browser-Based Game

Exstortion

Im trying to make a browser based game and I was wondering what do I need?
So far I have WAMP.

Im thinking that all i need to do is code in php correct?

There are many different ways to approach this. I assume that you are an experienced programmer and have thought about this; the tools required will of course depend on what technology you choose to use it.

Yes, you can use PHP entirely, but many browser-based games do not. Consider your options carefully.

Im not experienced in PHP. What else do they use besides PHP? I just want text-based not no movie characters and ect.

Well, you could use PHP, but PHP is server side, so anytime you need the program to do something, you will have to send data to the webserver, and then the page will reload.

Another option is JavaScript. It is client side, so there is no need to have the webserver do all the work.

You could use flash, and then everything will operate seamlessly, and you could incorporate some graphics.

There is Java, which works on nearly every device, and you could make it support multiple people at the same time.

There are tons of different options avaliable, but without knowing the details of what you want to do, it is tough to point you in the right direction.

Yea the only thing I want is a site that when you select a option it updates when you refresh the page. Eample ( You use credits/turns. TO work Ill put in 25 credits then press the button "Work" then the page will reload and It will say "You made $100" and my bank would go up $100.
