Online Games
Online games are roughly divided into two main genres. These would be the so-called browser games on the one hand and client-server based games on the other.
Browser games are implemented with the help of additional plugins. These include the Flash plugin and Java. Script languages such as PHP are often used here. By completely embedding it in a website, browser games can be played anywhere there is a computer with an Internet connection. In addition, of course, a browser is required to display the website.
The situation is different here with the client-server based games. Client software must first be installed on the computer. A complete computer game usually serves as the client. This has the disadvantage that large amounts of data must first be installed on a computer. This is not always and everywhere possible, so you are more restricted with client-server based games than with browser games. However, client-server based games are qualitatively a lot more demanding than browser games. This also justifies the installation of the large amounts of data.
Online games have their origins in the 1990s, when the first online role-playing games were published. But other game genres quickly discovered the Internet for themselves, for example strategy games became one of the most popular game genres that are played online. Of course, the so-called first person shooters can also be found in the charts of online games, here battles are fought on so-called virtual battlefields.
What is played is rather irrelevant when playing online, the primary focus is on having fun and communicating with each other. So it is not surprising that every online game has its own community in which the players can exchange ideas with each other. These communities are also ideal for organizing a game and founding groups (so-called clans).
Online gaming is now so popular that even professional competitions are held with high prize money. Such events are held under the technical term eSport.
