Best dev platform for Web based multiplayer board game?

JazzcatCB · 2001-10-05T17:18:22

I''m developing a Web based multiplayer board game (a''la Risk/Axis&Allies) Everything is 2D, so I don''t need sophisticated graphics (although later I hope to add some animations) The game consists of a board with multiple territories, playing pieces, and one or more decks of cards. I''d like to support layered and tiled windows, polygon graphical hotspot images (for the territories), a chat window, a zoom window, among others. I am a C++ programmer, however, I''d like something with an integrated GUI library, and fast prototyping (I don''t really need power as much as speed now) Also, the cost of this is coming out of my personal, unemployed budget, so it can''t be more than $300. Would Macromedia Dreamweaver meet my requirements? Any other suggestions?
