S'cuse me, I'm ten. And im looking on this page to also make an online game. I don't know what your problem is, man, but i'd take it seriously. Im a noob, yes, but with you being cocky isn't helping anyone. Thanks, guys, for posting the programs i could use [Although Knowledge may be at a low rate!]

So, anyone got any advice a helpless kid like me could follow?

Im planning on making an online game, people can access for free. Where you can walk around and talk to people, gain points and things. I wanna know how you make it, how to upload everything, the amount of things i need to learn is unbeleivable, but all i need right now is a starting point!

Nice grammar and vocab for a 10 year old, if you ask me. Anyways, like everyone has said before, it depends on what type of game, how you want it played, do you want this specifically for web based or download / play, etc. There are too many variables out there to point you to an answer just yet. Figure out what exactly you want done and accomplished in the end. Once you have that part figured out, we will help as much as we can.

If you want a web based game, you can probably head off easily into Flash for a simple game, more advanced games will include Java and more of the computer-side coding.

Is Java easy to get the hang of if you already know the PHP/Flash/JS/(X)HTML/SQL aspect of programming? Also it's compiled isn't it so does it take a while?

And what about these Java Development Kits? Do I need one of those?

Thanks for your help.
