This may be a long shot.

But, relating to the game RuneScape.
What programming language do they use?
I am highly interested in programming my own game, like that.

I do not plan on finding the program, and hoping in.
I plan to take awhile and learn the basics, then move on up.


Thanks.


Summary.
I want to program a game that is similar to RuneScape, graphical wise.
Not theme and such.



Thanks
 
I dont know off the top of my head, but they probably use a variety of coding, C++ being one of them.

g4m3rof1337, you can not simply look at how to program online, and then create a game like runescape the next day. It takes tens to hundreds of people years to create worthwhile and fun games.
 
aim for making sometthing like original runescape with doom-like graphics (2d objects in 3d environment)

theres rumors that runescape is entirely linux based, but i dont know
 
How about you try to make a simple program, like one that does a very simply job, such as launching applications when you click on a certain button.
 
ehh i take this cpu programming course in high school and it is awful. we make crappy little programs that open up in dos. good luck with the game!
 
My first lesson in programming was on a Tandy computer and I was able to make it understand that "1+1=2" Talk about a PITA. If you really want to start to understand about C++ or VB or both I would suggest taking a community college course where they can teach you the basics and you can spread out from there.

You gotta learn to crawl before you can learn to walk.
 
Try looking up dark basic. It's an interesting and fairly easy code created specifically for making low/entry level games. Heres a link to its site. It utilises direct x, and so forth. You can also download some demos. It is fairly easy to pick up, my friend made a basic one-level FPS after about two days of learning, so its not too long of a shot.:)
Go for it! and good luck.
 
Its written in Java, and even one person cant program a game as simple as Runescape all by themselves. You can get the free documentation and SDK for Java at http://www.java.sun.com/. Java is very similar to C++, so switching languages later on if you choose to do so wont be much of a challenge. Anyway, whatever programming language you choose you can find plenty of source code at http://www.planetsourcecode.com/

Click to expand...
The servers are linux based, but with Java, the program can run on any operating system that has the right version of Java installed.
