Hi,

I am working on a little project to make a game which loads web addresses from a playlist of URLs. The game will be a kind of "Name That Song", but could also be used for other web content. The playlist would be saved from existing website URLs, basically user programmable. I would like them to also load in the game at random, but that is not too difficult to program in code.

Once the game is started, I want the playlist to run all the way through the list and at the end display a simple score of correct "guesses" from multiple choice answers of the names of the songs (or movies, or other web content).

The game would only have to be Windows based but backwards and forwards compatible.

Questions:

1) Should I make it a browser plugin add-on or be a standard browser game? (Which is more practical?)

2) Given that there will be a simple GUI and the program will be relatively short in coding, what language or languages would you recommend?

Well, it could be a webpage, but the idea is that a playlist can be made of URLs and the program plays all of them, preferably at random. Other playlists of URLs could be selected and run one at a time. For example, lets say I want to make and listen to a list of popular Rock songs of the 1970s. Somebody could go to websites and see if they like the song behind the link (such as YouTube songs) and include that URL in the programs playlist. After a collection is built, then the playlist could be run and the end user could enjoy the playing of all the songs as the program connects the URLs one by one. Added to this, the user could play a game of "name that tune" or "name that movie". See?

Even if no one else is interested in it, I sure am.

I hate the idea of security problems with Flash. JavaScript has been in my mind.
