Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2011 3:17 am Post subject: Best Language for Simple Online Multiplayer Games? |
|
|
Hi, I am currently in my first year of college as a computer science major and I would like to eventually create my own website with some simple multiplayer games.
Mainly, I want a live multiplayer trivia game. I would eventually like them to have the choice to play for real money, so security is obviously a serious issue. Although, I suppose a dedicated encrypted server to send everything over should be sufficient?
In regards to security, compatibility and efficiency, what programming language(s) would be best to do this? I have thought a lot about flash, but I am not entirely sure that is the best way to go? Anyone have some ideas? Thanks! |

I recommend Java. Its free to use, and its completely secure. You could host a secure database (if needed) with XAMMP. It includes PHP, MySQL, and Perl languages. It has a pretty good security. Also, most security breaks can be stopped by a powerful firewall. I've seen some good ones like Comodo Internet Security. Also, if you want to be anymore secure, i recommend Avast! Anti virus. The firewall should protect you from any DDoS attacks, seeing as its ranked high on quite a few sites. |

Is Java more 'advanced' or harder to learn?
The Java courses at my college require that we take a C class before. |

Flash or Java work well for simple browser games, multiplayer or otherwise. |

I just finished my first course in Java and am starting my 2nd one this week. I have never worked much with C, but from what I have heard they are pretty similar. My school doesn't require C, but they did require me to take a test to make sure I was competent enough. Although, I think they just put me in there because the lower classes were all full. I got a "B" in there, which was my lowest grade....it was kind of difficult for me because I hadn't had any other formal programming experience. Nevertheless, it is definitely achieveable if you just work hard. |

Yes, Java is a great language. Easy to learn and use, and very secure. I am a Junior in Highschool and I am currently in a programing class that I am learning it in. |

Java is easily decompiled and modified, and even obfuscated can still be brought back to near original state(see MCP with Minecraft for an example of this). Also even with a firewall a DDoS attack can still be effective since your cable has to be able to handle the data before it even reaches your computer. Although given the other choices I suppose Java would be the most secure as long as you kept things stored server-side. |
