    I'm after writing (or getting written) a number of simple online games, what is the most popular language/environment to use. I'm guessing it's Java or Flash?

    I think so:
    1. Flash
    2. Java
    3. Javascript (old times, simple games)

    I think Flash ActionScript is the most popular.

    What kind of Online game first of all, second of all, C++ is great for generally everything, especially if you're talking about a speedy online game like a 2 player network pong.

    Thanks for the answers so far.

    I'm just talking simple single player games, like snake, pong etc. I want the games to be embedded on pages which rules out C++ (which is annoying as that is my strongest language).
