AElliott Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 No. You could use a variety of tools, really any programming language you can think of (you can't do it with markup languages like HTML alone). PHP is one of many choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowayex Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 If you want to use functions such as accounts and saving, you will need to use a server side language (such as PHP). Otherwise, JavaScript could be used.I, myself, would use a combination of JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL (given we were implementing accounts and the like), as all are free to use and very powerful. I suppose you could use just JavaScript and save it in cookies, but I wouldn't rely on that.If you want a game they would have to start over every time they come to it, you could write and display the story using HTML and CSS powered by JavaScript, to load the new story and get the choices for processing and the like.Either way, the display of the game would be in HTML and CSS, and JavaScript would be incorperated. PHP/MySQL can do all your account managing and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
