Title: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice? Post by: BIGMERVE on May 30, 2013, 08:11:34 PM I'm eager to learn how to make websites like Satoshi dice, Bitzino, or Pinballcoin.com. However, I don't even know where to start. I don't know anything about coding except for a little HTML and CSS. I don't even know if all the sites I just listed use the same code language.
Can someone point me in the right direction. Should I be learning PHP, python, or Java? Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice?

You can do that stuff with pretty much any programming language, though a dynamic language like PHP or Python will be easier. Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice? Post by: nelisky on May 30, 2013, 08:18:54 PM PHP is a very common choice, one that I personally hate for no good reason :)
There's a lot of python behind DICEonCRACK, and pretty much everything I do these days that isn't performance critical, and it is certainly not a waste of your time learning it if you are serious about coding in general. Of course the same thing can be said for any language, like theymos hinted, I just have a personal bias towards python as the barrier of entry is quite low and the possibilities really high.

So is DICEonCRACK all PHP, or is there a need for database stuff like MYSQL? Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice? Post by: nelisky on May 31, 2013, 08:38:01 AM So is DICEonCRACK all PHP, or is there a need for database stuff like MYSQL? There is no PHP in DoC or anything else I do. I'm just saying it is something most people chose. There is certainly a need for DBs, otherwise we wouldn't have a way to store the games or the results. You could, however, do without it with a little effort, but I would certainly not advise you to. Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice?

Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice? Post by: theymos on May 31, 2013, 03:57:57 PM It's common to use a database abstraction layer, which allows you to do database stuff without writing SQL. (Though I prefer to deal with the database directly.)
Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice? Post by: whiskers75 on May 31, 2013, 06:14:01 PM Argh! Use Node.js - it's built for server-side applications.
EDIT: I run a gambling bot for CoinChat (see link in sig) and it's coded in Node.js without any DB. Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice?

(Though I prefer to deal with the database directly.) Thanks for the help. Looks like I have a lot of learning to do. Should be fun. Title: Re: What type of coding is used in sites like Satoshi Dice?

Good luck, wish I could help. Looking forward to seeing another gambling site. |
