I am developing a multiplayer board game on the net and wondering what will be the best language for the user interface? His board game is similar to Go, but much easier.
I have two flash options or a lot of HTML5 advertised with JS. I need to learn, although I have basic knowledge of JS.
The problem with the flash is that I have to pay for the server component, but developing a user interface can be simpler and have a richer look. There is no cost with HTML5 + JS, but the development of the user interface that I feel will be awkward and not smooth. This I am not sure. Can any of the experienced developers advise there? Are there any special problems worth worrying about?
EDIT: Thanks for the comments. I will go with HTML5 / JS.
As for the server side, I have not yet decided what to use, but I want to look in node.js. Maybe I need to publish it on programers.stackoverflow.com about how it handles loading and concurrent users.
Thank,
Pav
