What programming do I need to learn to be able to make an online game like runescape?
Runescape is played over the internet. It is not a web game. The internet and the web (WWW) is not the same thing.





You can create a game like runescape in any language you want. But if you want to start out in game programming then you might want to get Dark Basic (which is not free).





Or you can start with another basic, some of which are free. Then graduate to a language such as C, then C++ or Java. Or delphi.

Reply:Get Blitz. Learn how to use the TCP and all that other networking junk. Then make a small game where you play, like runescape, but just like a two player racing game. Once you understand the networking, then you can move on to C or Java. I have a friend who took almost 5 months to learn networking because he started learning it along with C. Believe me, learn game networking before you learn the advanced languages.





P.S. I actually think it's possible to program a game like runescape in Blitz, however a more advanced language would be much faster. Free Demo at BlitzBasic.com
