I'm sorry, why would anyone want to play something in powerpoint? Flash exists at least a decade now. Seriously. Can someone answer this for me?

To start with PHP (or any language, actually) either:1. Buy a book. the 'for dummies' and 'in 24 hours' series are quite good.2. Look for websites who can teach you that (such as http://www.w3schools.com/)3. Look at scripts on the internet and try to figure them out. (when you can't, google parts of it to do so)I'd recommend option #1. #2 is annoying, and #3 is hard a quite cruel in some cases.Oh, and to actually make a game would take some time. A year or so, if you don't have a lot of free time. I'd start planning out the combat/adventure/whatever systems during the learning process...

Umm, the best site there is for basic scripting learning:http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ will teach you everything you need, begging at HTML, through JS, XML and others...Strongly recommended..

I have no idea what is the vector thing, but I'd go for an ArrayList<JCheckBox>. It's as dynamic as you'd need.for example:Adding a checkbox will result in:1. extending the gui screen a bit more2. adding the checkbox to the ArrayList3. adding the checkbox to the gui. etc.

As others said: AWT/Swing. But for a begginer, I'd suggests you download Netbeans. It has a really nice drag-and-drop feature to make basic 2D forms (and later can be used in 2D and even 3D Graphics). Make a few of these in Netbeans and look at the code. Should be under 'generated code'. just open it up and look at it. It's quite nice to have a direct example...

Gotta agree with him on this, at least on the first part. They are a waste of valuable time. Hell, they are just a waste of time. However, Runescape is more of a midschool library game, I know since I played it during that time (skipping classes). It's constantly updated (like any other mmo) but most of the updates go to paying members ($5 isn't that bad anyhow) The thing is the game itself is a point and click repitivly game. At one point, it feels like work, which sucks. Theres hundreds of videos on youtube, showing 'exciting' pvp battles. Watch them and there you have it. good points of it being lacking a need in install (other than just Java). Graphics are old fashioned (but good for a webbrowser game), gameplay stinks... MapleStory - well I tried it, hated the first 15 minutes, quitted. Not much I remember though. Overall I'd say don't do any of these, they are overly addictive and time consuming, go do something productive.

Well in my opinion Source is better, however I still miss 1.5 since it was the last version without Steam (which sucks less since 1.6beta days).The addition of physics, better graphics, less bugs and easily-handled bots - yeah bots, for offline play with mods - just wins. You won't see many computers (other than, say library computers) today that can't handle CSS. With a Geforece 5200 (OC'd, though) I could play the thing on medium settings on 30-50 fps.

Well, here's what I usually do: start the computer in safe mode, open msconfig.exe (start->run->msconfig) go to startup tab. Look for anything suspecious, or just disable everything.Google some of the suspecious-looking files (on another computer), delete them manually (still safe mode) run the system in normal mode and hope for the best.I'd recommend you do a quick scan with Ad Aware (free version on download.com) and/or an online virus scan (McAfee, Norton...) it helps a lot in finding those suspecious files. Hey, this worked for me two days ago, I'm still not sure what kind it was but it's gone now...Sure hope I helped-Moo64c
