An Web Browser Game That Start With N

How can I make a web browser?

Let’s just say that creating a web browser is a non-trivial task for a team of developers, much less a single individual. You would not be starting from scratch, you would most likely use Google’s open source Chromium browser as a starting point:chromium Git repositories - Git at Googlewhich is exactly what Brave Software did. You can get Brave’s source code here:Brave Software - GitHubThe Chromium code itself is written in C++, so you will need to learn C++. But that’s just a start, because the browser is written to support multiple operating systems - Windows, OS X, iOS, Android, and Linux. You will therefore need to learn the platform specifics for each of the platforms you want to target for your release.Even if you had all these skills and were familiar with the codebase ( a very large task on its own ), you could only expect to write at most a few thousand production-ready lines of code in C++ per year, which means you could only make small incremental improvements to the existing codebase.Before you even consider this kind of project on your own, look at what others are doing. Look at this question: How many developers work on Chromium? (The answer as of 2008 was 42. ) And we’re talking about 42 engineers at Google, which means at a minimum they have undergraduate degrees in computer science/engineering, and probably at least a few of them have Master’s degrees or PhDs in CS. Even with all that brainpower and hand on keyboards, it has still taken them years to get Chromium to the point it is today, and that more than anything should impress upon you just how difficult a task it is to create a browser from scratch.

Where should I start programming a browser game?

Hi there.That’s a good question, because as usual there’s a load of alternatives depending on a lot of personal and requirement factors. Also, I haven’t played either of those games, so I don’t actually know the specific mechanics at play here :)As Alex mentioned, learning and using node.js is quite beneficial in general, and will also possibly allow for the game/app to be deployed outside of the browser as well, by using OS-specific node.js runtimes.Not knowing your current level of development experience, and whether or not you’re a PHP developer, I’m hesitant to recommend something too complex, but even so it may be worth checking out a few PHP frameworks which provide a lot of boilerplate setups and easy ways to do otherwise complex things manually, like handling URL rewriting, database ORM handling, REST service implementations etc.Two I’ve used with various pros and cons, and certainly not saying they’re the best, are :CodeIgniterSymfonyIf PHP is not your thing, try AngularJS which is sticking to JavaScript-based development.https://angularjs.org/Using these, or a multitude of other options, and combinations thereof, you should be able to build a “multi-user, database driven” application quite well.Other general concepts to investigate are :REST ServicesThese are quite handy because you can make all interactions with the server done via REST calls, and then build separate front-ends for them, one for Web, one for Android etc.This’ll also allow you to create an API for the system which you and other’s could use to extend the game down the line.Depending on what you’re doing, I can highly recommend investigating this further to see if you can take advantage of it.Another possibly useful tool for you might be the “online multiplayer platforms for developers” which exist to take the job of handling the entire “multiplayer” aspect away from the developer.This is just one example, but loads more exist. You can use this as an introduction to some of the concept which exist, and then look for alternative service providers.Real-time Multiplayer  |  Play Games Services  |  Google DevelopersI hope some of that helps or at least gives you a few options to investigate further.Good luck! :)

What are the weirdest online browser games you've ever played?

I’ve got to go with QWOP, which I discovered while on boredbutton.com.Here’s the premise of the game:You are Qwop, our small nation’s sole representative at the Olympic Games.Use the QWOP keys to move your legs.Ideally you will run 100 metres…… but our training program was under-funded.Basically, each key controls one specific aspect of the runner’s movement. The trick is to be able to press all of the keys in the right order, at the right time, for the right amount of time.The end goal is to be able to run the whole track (100 meters) without falling over. Every time you fall, the game restarts.And it’s really easy to fall.Really, to understand it you’ve got to try it for yourself. It’s insanely difficult.And I may or may not have wasted half an hour trying to get farther than 3 meters.Edit Feb 21 2017:Thanks to User-11489512432964961067’s help in the comments, I have done it!I present to you — twelve minutes and four sore fingers later — success:

Where do I begin learning browser-based game development with HTML/JavaScript?

First of all, You should learn some basic HTML, CSS then move to Javascript and spend as much time as You need to understand how it works. Why am I focusing on JS here? Because creating a game using HTML elements is a pain, as the DOM is usually the performance bottleneck. When You have a solid understanding of Javascript, I would recommend reading about game dev in general. It's good to understand how game engines work in general and how different things (basic physics, sprites etc.) are implemented.The DOM can be a good option for games like memory matching, but remember that the HTML code is easily accessible for anybody viewing the page. I would recommend using a full JS game engine like Phaser (http://phaser.io/) or Cocos2D (http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Co...) as they use the Canvas element and WebGL for good rendering performance among many other features.
