Lessons?

Is there any lessons on how to make a browser based game?

I started a while back something like this, and you may find it here:

However there is tons of tutorials, existing scripts and much more on internet.

I explained in another post :P

 

Get hold of a McCodes verison 1 or 2. Get yourself a host, i'd go with a free one for now as you're just learning. ej.am is usually what a lot use.

Upload McCodes to your File manager, Run the Installer. step by step.

 

Open up your game, have a look at it.

Then go to your File Manager and have a go at some of the coding

Try installing some simple scripts you can find here on the boards.

 

Tinker Tinker tinker until you learn something :-)

 

It's slow go, but it's the best way to learn :)

Is it possible to not download anything for now?

If not what do I need to download?

All I know is html, where do I start in making a browser based game and what other stuff do I need to know?

1. You need to find a Host to host your game on.

2. You need to have a copy of McCodes V1 or V2 (unless you are going to write your own engine, which from the sounds of it isnt possible ;-))

3. You need to learn the basics of PHP and MYSQL ( for starters)

4. CSS is also helpful as well as being knowledgeable in GIMP or Photoshop to make custom graphics for your site.

5. Search the forums tons of posts on various questions regarding making games. :)

My recommendations to start would be:

1) Figure out what kind of game you want to make, plan it out, design the game play and how it'll look.

2) Research what programming language would be best for the style of the game (there are many languages you can use).

3) Learn the programming language and programming theories well.

4) Program the game when you understand the language, programming methodologies and what the game will be.

 

If you want to just take an existing game and modify it then:

1) Figure out what game you want to start with.

2) Learn the language it is using (so you can understand how to program and what is right or wrong in the existing game code and the code you're adding).

3) Modify and change as needed.
