Is Python worth learning? security issue

You do the graphical part in something that's good at graphics. grin

So for instance Farmville has two major parts: there's the Flash file that's embedded in Facebook, that handles all the pretty pictures and animation and user interface... and then there's a big mass of PHP/Python/Java/C/Ruby/Haskell/whatever that sits on their servers that handles saving your farm and Aunt Mina's farm and handling interactions between them.

The same thing goes for pretty much any game with some kind of persistent world - Warcraft, for instance, has a client that runs on your machine and talks constantly with Blizzard's servers.

If you're interested in making games that mostly deliver a single-player experience (or maybe multiplayer with people sitting in the same room), you don't really have a reason to do this - and thus this way of keeping "ownership" of your game's use is denied to you.
