How can I create online Java Games for online? Where people can chat and play same time and show score if its possible?
 
Learn Java, and learn Java sockets and network classes in particular. You will probably need server-side access to scripts and resources as well. Klae

You're only as good as your last answer!
 
Where can I learn this? A book? Online site? I looked at some of the Java help sites, but I don't know what exactly to look for, non of them are on the games for online, I want ti liike where people can interact with each other. And they can see what toher people's score is. Where can I learn to do this script?
 
There is a Java developer's forum on this site. They might be able to help you there a lot more than here. This is JavaScript. As far as books go, Core Java 2 is a great book for beginners at Java.

Best of luck,

There is a book that is actually about programming online games. One of my friend's brothers has it. I will find out the title and post it. Klae

Generally, in some philosophies, the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) can be broken down to four stages - Specify, Design, Implement, Release. More specifically...

Specify means to determine exactly what you want the program to do. You'll want to determine what your inputs are, what your outputs are, and what calculations need to happen in between.

Design means to outline how the program is going to perform its duties per the specifications.

Implement means to write, compile, link, execute, test. Repeat this process until your program behaves the way you want it.

Release means to send it to your audience. For Java (or for that matter, Javascript) on the web, that means posting a web page with the program embedded. There are countless resourses for Java, if that's what you're looking for. If you want a pretty spiffy Javascript game site, take a look at the JSHack web page at .

The previous post may be a bit pedantic, but producing good software is a pretty lengthy and vigorous process. Best of luck to you!
