You can't make an interactive game with just xhtml, html and xhtml are just document formats realy like a word document. Javascript could work if you whonted the game to be only one player and be run totaly on the client side and not save anything or it's state. However it could be somewhat complicated. Your best bet whould probly be using PHP or RoR (ruby on rails) to make a web based game where the code is ran on the server side and it outputs html to the clients browser. Thess will probly also need a database if you whould like to save anything niceely tho they can use files if need be. If you goal is simpley to make a game that runs in a browser, you could also use java and make a java applet, however that whould not realy be html or use it in any way. Note: That both RoR and PHP will noramly require a server of some kind to run them on and a webserver of some kind to server the html it generates. RoR comes with webrick witch is both of thess in one and is good for devlopment propses however you will need a real webserver with the langue you pick enabled to host it for every one to play. |
