   Online Games
  I want to make an online card game. It's not that complex, just a few simple rules. Should I make it in &#106avascript and PHP and directly put it on my site, make a game and then embed it like Flash(I don't know action script) or make a new program (I don't know any), and ask player to download it?   
  What skills do you already have?  Does the game need to update "realtime" for online players?   ;  I already know PHP, &#106avascript and learning C++   ;  What sort of server are you planning on hosting it on?Will this card game be 2d?Are you planning on having lots of people play this game?Do you want to design using a visual editor?Are you willing to learn a new language?Answer these questions and I can help you narrow dome some languages / services.;  Maybe this is the wrong move, but I had a similar question so I thought I would add it to this thread rather then start a new one.I kinda miss working on my own stuff, and would like to learn something new.  I do not have a specific game in mind (meaning I will probably write a bunch of small things), though I do not picture anything real time or 3D.  At most something with the indirect multiplayer of something like Pardus/Tradewars/StarfleetCommander/etc, but I will start with simple single player games.  I picture pong in my future....I was originally looking at Flex, but wanted to see if other people had better suggestions.   I am strong on C++ and Python (I looked into Django as a platform but I want something that offloads as much as possible onto the client side).I have not really thought about hosting or otherwise getting the game to players since this is mostly a 'for me' thing, but finding a way to share them probably should be a concern.No fancy editor is needed or desired; I tend to be quite happy with VI ^_^If this should be a separate thread I would happy to post it as such.   ;  if you know &#106avascript well enough learning actionscript/flash shouldn't be that large of a problem.   ;  What sort of server are you planning on hosting it on?Will this card game be 2d?Are you planning on having lots of people play this game?Do you want to design using a visual editor?Are you willing to learn a new language?I don't really know about the server, but the game will be 2dthere will be a few peopleI will consider visual editorsand I have lots of time, new languages won't be a proble.
