Does anybody have any experience with online game making? I would like to know how to.

I think I do.

What you need to do first is choose a programming lanuage. For this game I use PHP. For the database side of things I use MySQL, which is a freeware offshoot of SQL. Personally I'd recommend a good code book, I started off with PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites by Larry Ullman and would highly recommend it.

where can you find those?

The books? On amazon.com, and on ebay if you´re lucky.

There are hundreds of online PHP tutorials, it depends on how you learn. I work well with books as for me it beats reading a webpage.

If you're talking about web browser-based games such as AM, Neopets, Runescape and similar games, PM me

I can't say anything here, but I can introduce you to a little something via PM...

On the other hand, if you were wondering about WoW, Halo, or other graphics-based online games, good luck. You're gonna need a great deal of artistic creativity and a hell-load of physics/math to be able to plot camera endpoints, planes (geometric ones!), and ummm...lotsa mechanics

I use PHP/MySQL for dummies. Macromedia 8 for dummies. Flash 8 for dummies.

Does me well
