I want to know if it is possible to make a registration system on a website and after you register you can have an account in game. And if so how can this be done, Thanks in advance.

uh... why would this even be needed? Byond has its own login thing... so... why?

No reason really but I was curious.

Well - for one it could be a bit smoother than using input()s and alert()s. But, as he said, you don't really need the internet, you could just use a pop-up window or the browser() stuff. Just an idea.

Well than, you have (atleast) two options:

1) If you want this system to be only for BYOND-members (as in everyone in BYOND and NOT _JUST_ the people who paid), I suggest you program a DMCGI program. Essentially it is like a programming a browse() only BYOND game and can be hosted like one as well (makes things a lot more easier for Import() and Export()ing game data).

2) You can program with PHP/MySQL and learn how to do some work about to obtain data sent/received by servers
