Thanks for the advice. Sorry if I'm a bit vague, I'm really jumping in over my head here so I'm sort of on step one.
The only reason I wanted to keep a db/images on the users computer is so that it ran faster.
I'm sure you've heard of magic but I don't know if you've played, but it's very similar. I'm thinking of writing it in VB and I have everything written down that I want it to do.
For now, I want to make it so that two users are able to play eachother. They each have a "deck" of cards and the decks have a variety of cards. They have stats on the cards like how much power they have, how much they cost, and some actions on the cards like, (for simplicities sake) Kill another players charchter.
So I'm thinking I need a db full of cards and how they are used (possibly in another db), basically I think I'm going to have to program every card so that all instances are accounted for. Now the play area would sort of grab the card from the db and load it into code so that it's stats are open to change etc.
All of the cards will be images so I want to put them on the users machines to save loading times. I was thinking of trying to code it in VB. I think I'd rather make it less of a web application and more of a software game.
Hopefully that makes it a bit more clear.
Thanks for the book listings I'll check them out.
