Title: So what is Bitcoin lite?
Post by: meren on December 29, 2015, 03:58:23 AM
I am actually developing a plain old html based browser game and I want a 'light' wallet that I can integrate with my page / game.
I am a novice when it comes to coding. Can any of ya'll direct me to the right way where I can find some detail instructions of how to go about doing this???

Scratch that, I down right do not know anything beyond html and css haha

You can use a light wallet like Electrum for this. They have docs for doing this on their website: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/merchant.html

How do you plan to integrate bitcoin into a plain html game? Are you going to pay users for playing, or are you taking deposits and storing them?
Either way you'll need to know more than just HTML and CSS. If you don't want to pay for a dedicated web server and run bitcoind you should look into using an API blockchain, or block.io

If you want to make a game, I'd recommend ruby or python, as although they're fairly new, they're easy to learn and use.

If you want to go old school, you could use Java, it's supported more widely.

You cannot make a game, nor one that integrates with any bitcoin API, because CSS and HTML are purely to make your code function and look pretty on a small scale.

Thanks for the input guys.
Please understand I am just beginning to delve into this. I do not know anything.
And I would need a lot more help from you guys to understand and make progress.

I would not reveal much about the game at this point and I am also not sure if html alone is enough, there are certain things 'like random outcome within a defined context' that I dont know how to achieve with my html skills or if at all its possible with html.
