i think this is the right place....

ok so i have ben looking at the websites and some of them seem quite complicated others not so much, how are they linked in with eve?

are the sites written in python or java?

could a site like that be wrote in python seeing how it is such a versital language?
or is there a better code to use?

there a place i could go look at like a way to link a site like that to eve online i know there is eveapwhy and more sites.

Yes, sites like that can be writtin in python and java. Or PHP. or Perl. or .Net.

The language isn't particularly important, to be honest.

As for how they interact with Eve, they'll be using the Eve API to see when people deposit isk. For giving ISK to people, that's all done manually. For now, there is no legitimate way to make Eve do anything. Read only through the API.


http://wiki.eve-id.net/ will be of interest.

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_API_Functions as well.

Woo! CSM XI!

The prizes are manually contracted to the winners

I use .NET, others use PHP, so as other said, the language is pretty unimportant. There are ways of pulling data from the API using each of the major web and application programming languages.

Ultimately, the core for these types of sites is a front end (the UI that your users use), a database (which tracks everything going on), and a scheduled script/process (which reads through the API every so often and performs various calculations).

As KL1 states, you can't use the API to pay out to winners or to create contracts of prizes. So no matter what you do, you can't fully automate the process and still need to maintain your system in some manner.
