This is just for fun and id like to do it from scratch.

The game is war and its where the deck is divided up into 2 stacks and each player draws a card, the high card wins both and collects them into his/her deck. When one player has no cards its over.

I can write it out for a single computer type thing using whatever language you want but i was wondering a simple way to make it multi user. My first thought would be using like a sql database and creating a table for each game using a randomly generated name that is then shared between the two browsers. But does something like mysql have a max table limit? If so is it a small number?

Whats the better way to do such a thing? What goes on behind the scenes with something like yahoo games?

Id just like some leads on what i should explore next.

Sure thing, so what does the backend look like. What is used to have 2 browsers connected and using the same dataset.

Flash + Soap or something of that nature. Write the server in whatever language you want and make the clients in Flash.
