    Okay, so i want to program a RPG like Pokemon For GBA. Assuming you guys have played it.

    I want this to be a browser game... like Rollerboy.

    So whats the best way of doing this?

    I know if i use php its going to be one heck of a boring game. Im not really advanced on any other programming language but im willing to spend a month learning before starting on my project.

    So what languages would you recommend doing this on?

    What i was thinking is Java?

    You could use PHP and AJAX.

    Java is the best way to go for browser-Based games.

    ive seen some a decent (MMORPG) game done in flash, though itd be best to use javascript (eg ajax) :) I did hear of a new technology for websites called Comet, whihc is meant to be the next stage of AJAX. it could be useful :)

    yea i was thinking about this but i wanted them to move with the keyboard arrows so. Of course php would be the best since thats what im most familiar with.

    I dont really like flash games, for some reason :/

    I think im going to check out Java

    You can use javascript to capture key strokes. Like Gmail and Windows Live Mail does in their applications.
