Should I use HTML for making games?

Answer 1

Maxwell, what is a real game dev?

The answer to your question is no, or not just with HTML. You would need to use JS to be able to create a game since HTML is not a programming language.

There are libraries that allow you to even make 3D games with HTML + JS. And even tools like Unity3D allow you to use JS (as far as I know)

Answer 2

You will need more than HTML

Answer 4

At some extent, you can't really making a game in HTML, as by itself is not a programming language. At minimum get into modern Javascript if you like playing around the canvas and the browser, or go with Python and the game module, if not as Maxwell said that's C++ for serious stuff.

Answer 5

You can make very simple games using html and javascript, but it's always a good start, so if you don't want to jump into C++ yet, go ahead and make games! You'll need javascript for a lot of stuff though. But I'm sure there are a lot of good ideas that can be done with html + js. Have fun and show your creativity <3

Answer 6

You will need js + css To make html game.

Answer 7

Depends what kind of games you want to make.
If you want to make some browser games HTML5, CSS, Javascript and WebGL are better than flash IMO, but if you want to make really cool 3d games I recommend to learn C#, C++ or Ruby and get Unity Engine, CryEngine or Unreal Engine.

Answer 8

It depends on the type of the game you want to make. But, as many people already said, making games in HTML usually means at least HTML5+JavaScript and, maybe, PHP and SQL (unless you're making those games that read like books, but there are bifurcations and options at the end of each page. There were series with many books like this when I was a kid. It is possible to make games like this entirely in HTML, but there can be no calculations, no data processing and just static HTML with hyperlinks).

html is a programming for the cyber world. when html and js join together then u can make cool video game.
