Almost any language will work for this. Are you planning on doing this as a browser based or console based game?

[Svraddict]

its going to be browser based and free to play, even if all the progrmaing languages work could you tell me whats the more apropriatte one please?

If it's browser-based, you could easily use a language like PHP.

Have another doubt, PHP is very used to make websites, but what about to program? PHP can do it to?

[WingedPanther]

PHP, ASP, ColdFusion, etc are all programming languages focussed on producing HTML code for the web.
You can also use a Java Applet, Flash, etc if you want to have graphics involved.
What technology you use will depend a LOT on what kind of look/feel you want your project to have. For a simple text-based where people can't interrupt you, PHP would work fine.

oo, thank you for the help.

Ive been checking some websites that teach PHP, but i haven found one that is good, you seem really expirienced with programming, so do you happen to know one that teaches PHP?

You could start out with a small introduction to the language. And later you could go into more details, with other articles and tutorials. When you think you has become pretty comfortable with PHP, you need a reference, to make it easier for you to understand the different functions.

ok, thanks for the help, im going to try to learn PHP now.
