Hi guys,

I am looking information that can help me learn how to develop a Real Time Strategy (RTS) video game accessible by any web browser and programmed with HTML, php, javascript, etc.

Thanks.

Nothing, I want to learn, the reason I have not place myself into learning these languages is because I don't know how they relate to each in HTML.

For instance, I know JAVA. I know how the language behaves, and how it interacts. What I don't know is how these other languages interact with HTML.

I never done a website in HTML but I was wondering if I will also need javascript, css, php, etc. to develop a RTS game in HTML?

I know nothing about such games. But for the frontend you need HTML and CSS for any kind of webpage. For the backend you will need some server side language. PHP has been the most popular one for quite some time now, but I can't say if it's the right choice for this. Maybe Java that you already know is. You may also need JavaScript and related things like so called AJAX. Maybe look around for games of this kind and try to find out what language they are written in. But as said, you'll need HTML and CSS whatever way you go. And maybe JavaScript.

FWIW, the RTS games I've played have been written in Flash.

HTML creates the structure of a web page. CSS is used for decorating (styling) the HTML in various ways. Some newer CSS3 properties can also be used for simple animations or transitions.

Client-side javascript lets you instantly change HTML and CSS without reloading the page ("Ajax" is a way to let javascript send data to and from the web server without reloading the page).

Server-side scripts like PHP (or Java) can be used to generate things like HTML, CSS, javascript, cookies or even images, which are then sent to the browser. It can also communicate with a database on the server.
