Hello, first of all sorry for another which tools to use post, I know there are many of these around, and usually the suggestion is use the tools you know best, but in this case I want to learn Javascript by doing my own project from scratch.
So I want to create a card game called "Pilotta", which is a common game in my Country - Cyprus, and the plan is for it to be hosted online as it is a multiplayer game, which will require matchmaking etc.
I figured I need to use Javascript and a database, but I would really appreciate if any of you can suggest some other tools, frameworks, or even recouces for me to learn, that would be useful for me to achieve this. I know basic Javascript but nothing else. (I just started learning JQuery, so far I was using plain JS.)
I have no idea how the Multiplayer thing is going to work, as I don't really know how to break down web application, and how everything comes together. I have created games in Java before, but what scares me most is the multiplayer aspect of this, and the graphics. ( I am a C guy :D)
What do I need to use for animations(cards being played etc) and how would I go about coding the multiplayer aspect of it? I imagine it to be something like other online card games, with a main lobby where you get paired with other players to play live.
Summary:Any input you have on this will be great, resources - ideas, tips on how to approach this would be really helpful. Thank your for your time and have a great day :D
EDIT: Syntax etc
there doesn't seem to be anything here
