I was just wondering, how can I start making a Browser/Web Based Game (dunno what they are called).. but not really a flash game, more like neopets (used to play it as a kid :P), Mafia Wars (facebook), a game that mainly uses text and small graphics, not like those free online flash games and stuff.. So any good tutorials about how to make them, and which languages I need?
PS. Sorry if it's posted in the wrong forum..

you need to know HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP. Then I think you are good to go

Sorry, but to what level, Expert or just the basics?? and any site/book that can help making the games or i have to figure it out myself after i learn those 4?
A game like mafia wars is in theory very simple, it is just a PHP game (imagine a turn based text game you make in PHP) but has Javascript dynamically fetching the game without requiring the user to reload the page each event. Javascript can use a method called AJAX to asynchronously call backend PHP scripts/database information without needing to reload the page, to make it user friendly. I would recommend learning PHP first (Game), and then AJAX (game interface), and then CSS (if you want it to look nice)

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.
