All those text based games are run by .PHP files and require a MYSQL database, i ran one for over a year where you where a gangsta and had to "beat up" others to earn money

Hmm I think it would be just html, although I dont really know if its a text based game, or one of thoe Runescape type games.... you should post and let me know other wise I dont know.
{Edit} I would sign up for it but I have had bad expereances with signing up for stuff like that.
The script for that game is downloadable, search the web and you'll probely find one it uses PHP but you can download the game and put it on your site, Like TRAp17 has the Army System on their site.
There is a way of creating these types of web-based games? I've heard of many other web-based games and they look complicated. This game may not seem THAT complicated but what about games like "neopets" and some others? Those would require extensive coding don't you think? I mean how are we supposed to use HTML to save everything that a certain user does? If Kings of Chaos is a downloadable script, why do people still play it and enjoy it? Everyone would be off creating their own games if it was that simple!
Games like Runescape or normaly written in Java, a hard language to learn. There is also another way, C# a language pretty much like Java (it's the MS version of Java). But anyway, it's gonna be hard if you don't know much about programming.
I think I'll go and learn C++....
If your looking at something like neopets, thats all server side scripting like CGI and PERL and PHP.
Well, i would use java. But like was said. Extremly hard to learn. I got 5 or 6 books on java, and i still have problems scripting
Some programing languages like CGI, Perl, and Java are good for making games online. You could also use PHP which is a mark-up language... I think.
Ahh, I don't know how to edit my posts so here it goes.
PHP is a scripting language, I got HTML and it mixed up. HTML is a mark-up language. Latest Entries

It looks like a pretty simple Text Based Game. Its Probably just using PHP in conjuction with Server Side Scripting like My SQL for the Database. However, I'm not sure becasue I've never made a Game, text based or not. The only experience I have with Databases and interactivity is through various forums I've created.
QUOTE(djkanna @ Aug 23 2008, 07:09 PM)  right that kings of chaos is writtin in java if you left click on it the view page source the it tells you what its written in <script language="javascript"> Wrong on so many levels, I'm afraid. Java and JavaScript are two different things entirely. Yes, the page has JavaScript in it, but JavaScript is code that your browser runs. All of the pages that I had a look at were PHP files (i.e. *.php), meaning that they use PHP code to do the business on the server itself. Some handy links: HTML PHP JavaScript These are by no means the only useful pages on the subjects, just the ones I have bookmarked.

Replying to Z-0-M I've never done a web based game before so I can't offer much, However I did find a few sites on Google claiming to have old freeware and shareware versions of webbased mmo's, I'm sure some of them are different from more modern designs, It should still give you an idea of how it's done.
