MY knowlege Ok, i know absolutly very little, i know some javascript,and im reading up on JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, and if i need to i will be reading about HTML. I havent the slightest idea in "bleep" (dont know if swearing is against the rules...) of being able to script this without more reading, i dont know what script languages i need to know, i dont know about data bases. Can i make a website using javaScript?What i want to make I know what i want to make. I want to make a game like the one at https://tycoononline.nu/ and like http://www.honouredsociety.org/, and games like that, its going to be about makeing a business.Details At the beging you get said amount of cash, you choose a profession, law, farming, oil, crime, stuff of the nature. When you make a bussiness, or crime family you have shares or something else for the crime, but you cant automaticlly make a bussiness, you need to get investors and stuff like that, you never get to see your skills, but you get skills when you star. The game will be a real time game like in 5 min intervals. if you own a bussiness then you need employes, a warehouse, and other things. so you have your investors and you click on create bussiness, this brings a page with all avalible bussinesses. say woodcutters,paper maker, oil rig, refiner. or you can make a shop where you sell these things the game will be in 50 day periods. there will be rank systems much like in tycoononline, and stuff like that. Upon registration an email will be sent to your email account, you will get the username and password of your choice. and other regulation things of that nature, also a forum, and id liek to itegrate a chat at the bottom of the page like AIM. also the users would have a mmessage system, like in most games. Members will get charts, unlimited game play, no loading screens, and more things. Membership will cost like 5-10 dollars a round (round is 50 days). Non-members will be only alowed to log on 4 times per day, for 30 min ea time. NM wont get charts or anything to help them decide if its a good investment besides raw numbers and stuff.Astahost What comes with the Xisto. My book says you need PHP software, Apache software, and MySQL software, does that come with the Xisto services. What does 30 credits get you, i need like lamans terms defintion, im still trying to get ahold of all this. Once what im trying to learn is put into terms i understand, i learn it as fast as i can read it. in 1 day of reading my JavaScript book i can do alsorts of things.About Me Im 15 and would like to try my hand at programming an internet game. im pretty good with computers and im a pretty quick learner. so please email me at reconwannabeslilbro@yahoo.com or post here with your help. Also if anyone would like to help me make the game im cool with that.

Well to start a game like that would take many many many hours of programming testing etc, I know I have been involved in making a game before.The programmers on this game were all over 25 and had many years of programming experience in business applications.All i can say its an uphill battle and will take months to get finished.One good thing tho is..Astahost will be able to handle it no problem, our hosting provides Apache, PHP and MySQL so if your thinking of making the game in php then it will be no problem at all.

well, im on summer vacation till september i think, so time is no problem at all, and even then it really doesnt matter, aside from a little time with my friends im free, so as ive already stated im good. I dont care about my experince, ill get through it, i always do, im dead set on this because ive always wanted to make a "video game". I hope the above didnt sound like a it wa sintent to be rude because it was not.Thanks Zemon1

If time isn't a problem from you then start learning PHP & MYSQL, then start the work. But i warn you that a browser based online game is not so easy to do. You need a lot of time and knowledge for that. I was attracted by text-based games too, and using my skills i started making one. It tooks me 3 months to finish it and thats why im here. I need a good hosting with cron jobs allowed for the game.

toofast, you think you could help me out?I know what i want but i made my first page today, the intro and i cant figure anything else out from here. I know what i want, i just need someone to help me see how to get there. I dont want anyone to do it for me,help mabye, but the best part is the making. so you think you can help me out? i really have noidea where to start or what to do. Also i hate to admit it but i kinda want to rush into it (probably not the best choice, but my brain says yes and my body says no, but it has to listen)so im reading my 2 books, but i really have no idea what to do next and its really starting to overwhelm me, not that im going to give up. I just need guidance. You think mabye you could like help me and if we get members ill split the money with ya? I think because this is my first attempt at a game,i just need someone to like tell me what to do, so when i go to make my next game i know how to approch it. Im going to copy this message and send it to you as a message to.
