[Luno1599]

Hey,

I want to make a Web based game (like habbo hotel, runescape ect...) but am not sure how or where to start. Can anyone help me or have any sites that is like a tutoral on making games/coading games?

The best place to start would probably be to give up.

[loserWILL]

Why's that Greg? It's like instead of you always saying "Learn CSS", you just say "Don't even try, give up".

He wants to leanr somehting new, and he's asking for help.

[Pazza]

Why give up?

Look around, sulake didn't give up and look where they are

[Luno1599]

I know PHP, HTML, CSS ect

[theJOSH]

Well a good start for programming would be Java, Or Lingo

A lot of people start like he is, don't diss him when he hasn't started.

That's like saying you can't learn html because you don't know it already

[Luno1599]

Thanks :) every1 whos stickin up 4 me, Dose anyone know what HabboHotel is coaded with?

[Awfy]

No the difference is that's like saying "I want to build MySpace, what's it coded in?". It's an impossiblity that the person is going to be able to code a system like MySpace when they are just learning to code.

So give up now, or try something like Pong.

[Luno1599]

Yes but I know CSS, HTML and PHP been doing it for years

C+, C#, C++ PHP Lingo and Java

They're the only ones I know associated with games =)

Flash is sometimes good OH and shockwave

Lingo = Shockwave
the Flash is called Actionscript :)

He's not saying that he already knows, he wants to learn the language then code some kinda massive thing

Read what I said...

You truly are stupid.

Gregs saying:
He should learn and start off small, before attempting huge.

[MrPinkPanther]

Actionscript is the most flexible solution.

Awfy - please dont bother posting in this thread again.

Also i dont no much about coding etc but would love to learn.

Anyways good luck with thnis mate.

Tip: DO NOT GIVE UP.

You are not a faliure because you failed,
You are a success because you tried.

So good luck with this mate :)

[Luno1599]

Thanks mate

Awfy - please dont bother posting in this thread again.
Don't tell me what to do, will get you no where.

[theJOSH]

Dom, please leave this WHOLE category,
all you do is post inmorale advice, which will not help him develop
skills.

You have no skills, as a designer, coder, programmer etc.

Now BUH-BYE!

how about you try using an engine. like elysium. or search for them around. you'll find it REALLY easy to start, you could have a game working in 1/2months.

[Sam]

Geez, give the guy a chance.

I agree he should start by trying something small etc, but at least give him some helpful advice. If you think he should try to learn to code something like 'pong', then give him the URL to do so.

To be honest with you, I'm with awfy there...
You could try to make a simpler game first.

Don't just go like "I want to make a game like habbo/runescape", becouse;


1. CSS/HTML/PHP Languages which you know, have nothing to do with the game, it could only help you create a frontend & backend sort of usersystem-site , so thats only for the site, not the game itself.
-
2. Alot of people say "Sulake started like this too", Actually, they didn't. Sulake had big plans already in mind, and they had some more advantages then you have such as;
-

a) They had/have a bigger staff team working on the game, not just kids, but actual adults who've studied for that exact goal.
b) They had a bigger, or just -a- budget to start. They had funds to put in the development, not only in advertising/buying software or whatever. But also being able to pay the staff they hired.




Don't get me wrong, If you could pull it off on your own, I'll be the first to say I was wrong, but I'm just saying, it takes alot more preperation, funds, people to make a nice (succesful) game then you think.

Anyway, it's nice you want to create a game, but don't just think too big yet.
Or you could end up disappointed.

He won't gain any respect from using a prebuilt system. The mmocc of today are above and beyond that. It won't cut it to compete.
