Hey, I'd like to make an online sports simulation game similar to courtrivals.com . What language would be the best thing for me to learn in order to create this product? Also if I wanted to partner with a programmer, how much would it cost to create the game by paying someone?

I'll give a brief description of what CR is...You have your own basketball player and you train him in different statistical categories (shooting, 3pt shooting, blocking, rebounding, speed, etc) and you have 10 members on your team. A sim is run that plays the games and then reports back the boxscores with stats after the sim runs.

If anyone has ever played tribal wars, it's very similar as far as the training part goes.

  • You have to definitely learn web development languages.
    Frontend/UI: HTML/CSS + Javascript(optional)
    Backend: PHP or ASP.NET or Java (servlets) or Phyton (I would recommend PHP)
    Database: SQL
  • If you want a visual game, learning Flash would be a good start, for multi player and other featuresyou'll also need to integrate with a database (MySQL).

    Alternatively you can check out UNITY: Game Development Tool it's a free game engine that's gaining a lot of traction and you can create some pretty slick games fairly quickly. They play on web,iphone,android, pc etc.

  • I just read an article talking about fantasy sports and how it is becoming quite lucrative.
    I would use a LAMP system to program such a thing. This way it is easy to maintain and can be used on most servers.
    Cost factor? Depends upon how much detail, logic rules, etc... that would be needed.
    Probably a lot of testing and modifying will be done in the beginning. People often forget about the back-end, which can be as large or larger than the front end.
    First guess, beginning at about $10K for a modulated system...
