title: Php/Javascript to make a browser game?
body: <p>I've been on and off intrested in making a text based browser game. 
  I have been turned off by the idea because of the daunting amount of things to learn.</p>
  
  <p>PHP (or another sever side scripting language)
  Javascript
  HTML
  MySql</p>
  
  <p>And the fact of severs and apache..</p>
  
  <p>Can I just pay for web hosting and by-pass having to set-up apache?</p>
  
  <p>Also how long will it take me to learn all thoose things well enough to start work on my game?</p>
  
  <p>Should I just stick with Flash and then C# for XNA?</p>
