I'm making a text-based adventure I've been working on for awhile. I'm thinking, integrate into web with Javascript or code a individual program? Please choose what you beleive what is the best, and if possible, a basic template of sorts for me to follow. Thank you.

You mean like a MUD? I hate to say it, but if you want to put it in a webpage Java would be the best way to go.
If it is one of those games like Neopets then PHP is the way to go.

not really, just a project to take any extra time of my hands.
it will be like, Choose Your Own Adventure, but on the web or in a small program.
example: You see a fat ass at KFC.
Do you shoot him?
Do you eat him?
and each button will lead to a different "page"

SQL wouldn't be needed.
PHP is the language you want, just look up some tutorials on it and you should be fine.

If you wish for multiple users to play it and such you could go the old method of MUDs and create it in C and allow people to telnet into a box to play. With that you can make it web accessible by creating a Java telnet client for the webpage.

Used to run my own mud, was an IMM on a few others, and a builder / coder on a few. MUDs were pimp back in the day :/ all the ones I played on are either gone or filled with 'newfags' now which make it unfun to play 'em. |
Personally, I thought MUDS never were fun.

if your going with choose your own adventure then go with php or even simple html.
all you need to do is make html pages for everysingle story segment. or you could use a GET variable. for example.
if($_GET['story']=='1')
{
echo "you shot the person with a high concentration of pigment in his skin in KFC";
}
if($_GET['story']=='2')
{
echo "you ate the person with a high concentration of pigment in his skin in KFC, now your breath smells like person with a high concentration of pigment in his skin, good job";
}
so you could contain the whole story in 1 document and use links like
www.mypage.com?story=1

Not saying that isn't one way of doing it, but that would extremely easy to hack / exploit.

idk if your familiar but CYOA are books in which you pick what happens and the rest of the book rests on that choice. He didn't say he wanted to make a game but rather a adventure thats in your hands. So what is there to exploit / hack in a nongaming adventure with no rewards?
