What do I need to build an online game?

Ok well basically I am looking for someone who has experience, not in making a text based game. But in general has some idea on what they would use.

Therefore my question is if i was to create a text based multi-player game... a role playing game and to move into animation over the years or so. What would be best for me? a content management site or a mysql database.

Also if anyone has any experience with html + css and would be willing to work with me, I will pay cash but that will be over time but I will explain more privately. PM me for details

---------------------------------------

Back on topic. So yea I am basically asking would it be better to use a CMS or a general mysql if creating a text based mmorpg

Re: What do I need?

Start by learning how to spell....!

What kind of a game are you thinking of? Whether you're planning on making an online "Text based" game or a site with a collection of games, you're better off using a server-side language and a database than trying to statically code everything.

Re: What do I need?

Please use a more descriptive thread title. It should be: "What do I need to build an online game?"

Re: What do I need?

In all fairness ... the question is VERY vague! Maybe if you tried to explain it some other way!?

And yes ... Next time, do put a proper title for your post!

Watch out. If we played laser tag with only one laser and I take your laser, then it could get dangerous for you.

you met a monster

HP: 100

|attack| |run away|

Re: What do I need to build an online game?

ahh.
so you'd store their HP in a mySQL table and use queries to take away from it.
Have you got a site yet?
