P.S. Can you make a browser based game with C++?

With C++? Not really, but you could with C# or ASP.NET if you have a Windows host. Really, behind-the-scenes, PHP is just C++ code.

To make a browser-based game, just make a bunch of PHP code that does stuff... it really depends on the type of game you want to make.

i was wondering the same thing as well, but what kind of php would you have to use?cookies, sessions etc.?would you also maybe have to use a bit of javascript?

You will have to use a bit of everything. Browser based games become terribly difficult if you try to add many features.

A user registration system would be the first step.

I dont think you can make a browser based game with C++ but you can with FLASH and JAVA. If you kno them, then I will be ready to help you out!

well it depends how you develop your code

at first stage the code you are using will be somewhat garbage, but then a couple of months later you just improve the code and you can add new features without any problems

I sorta know JAVA but for some reasons it doesnt work on my computer. I had programs and everything installed but it didnt work. if you can get me one that works for Windows XP then that would be useful. I am still learning JAVA though lol.

Depends on what kind of game you are talking about. I've written all kinds of games and the most important thing is to pick the right tools after you work out exactly what you want and how it will be used.

You can do a simple card game in Javascript.
You can do a 3D shooter in Java or C++
You can do animation based games in Flash.
You can write a plugin game in C++.
PHP? wouldn't be much of a game. I suppose a word game or something weak with pictures. PHP is pablum. You can't write a serious graphical game with it.

Decide what kind of game you want, what platform, and then choose the right language and development tools.
