    It has macromedia written all over it. It's an older Flash game. Adobe bought Macromedia to get Flash. Such a game could be written in Java, but then the cute little graphics need to be done with a photo program. If I had to do it, I would guessimate around a week.

    There is a javascript library that would make this very, very easy.

    The javagame web site I remember is down for repairs. (Dang it).

    So, my final link is a very basic graphics setup you can use. I can not teach you how to make games. You will have to do this.

    >How to make Flash or Java games without programming? You can't. This is kind of like asking 'How do I make a wooden chair without carpentry?'. It just doesn't work like that. When you make a game, programming simply IS what you are doing. There may be software that can simplify the process somewhat, but doing it by means of such software will necessarily involve sacrificing some amount of control over what you can do. And even then, you'll still be doing programming, just on a higher level.
