What is this coded in ?

[Maniack]

I would like to know what this game is coded in (java, php etc). obviously not php but here:

And when your in-game, (when you press the big START button) how was that made .!

The start button is a simple gif image. When you click it and it opens a pop-up is done in JavaScript and the game itself is made in flash.

[Maniack]

Ok, so the whole thing is actually made in flash?

[Jackolantern]

Yes, that game is made mostly in Flash. You can right-click anything that looks like Flash and it will say in the context menu.

[Ravinos]

Yes it is. It's a good example of flash MMO's. The next one I would say would be this Gilfors Tales That one is a full mmo/rpg .

[Jackolantern]

Once you learn game making in Flash (and have made the normal Pong, Breakout, Tetris, Donkey Kong clones, etc.), there are actually a few good books for MMO making in Flash and there are a couple of good commercial MMO engines for it. There is more documentation and servers available for Flash MMO making than any other platform out there. Not that it is easy by any stretch of the imagination (actually, you must be very skilled with ActionScript 3 to be able to get even halfway through), but it is a well-documented path.

Ok, Thank you everyone

[Ravinos]

I've been toying around with flash and smartfox server pro. My success has been somewhat limited but on the other hand I'm not putting my efforts full time into it either. It's pretty simple to make a chat room where you can have people's avatars move around in real time but that's about all I can do right now.

That's awesome ! nice
