I want to use java in jsp files to do it becasue java is very versitile. So could someone please point me in the right direction? I forgot to mention the game I would like to make would be somewhat like tribalwars.

Hello Crap for Brains Joined: 5 Jun, 2008 Posts: 912 Thanked: 5 times Dream Kudos: 50 My Contributions	Firstly the reason I'm using java is because I'm a java programmer and don't want to learn a scripting language to an advanced degree. And secondly I'm not thinking of runescape because that is 3d and an mmorpg. Even a person with an advanced understanding of Java would dub such a project 'Near impossible'. I just can't think of were to start and build my self up from.

I think its something like.. 1. 10 percent database ( cause it will only hold datas, values, etc) 2. 80 percent programming ( JAVA, etc ) 3. 10 percent HTML.. but still you need a server to hold that 100 % game..

(users, villages, troops, mobs, items, resources etc etc whatever). Once you have all of that data, it is very simple to pick out pieces of it to display, or to update it. So yea, you need to setup the database and figure out what elements you have to store before you can start making a front end for it.
