Creating an Text-Based Browser-Game

Post by Goofan »

Hi!
I thought i should ask if anyone has done anything like this before and if so then how did they go about it?

As ive only made the design of the game and not yet started to program... i thought i would ask...
Questions:
#1 What should i consider to download/use as my program goes on? Programs? (basic to the most advance please)
#2 As my Game is a "BIG" game on the internet or will be i wonder if its good to use CSS?
#3 what should i think of (Security, ....????)
#4 Where should i go to read up on how to create a game? ill leave a small description of the game beneath so that u know what im "practally going to do".
