Creating Flash Board Game (Multiplayer Online)
Hi,
Right now i am doing on a project on Chinese Checkers which have 2 players, 3 players, 4 players, 6 players. I used SQL Server as database. game programmed in AS3, and i used web services to connect them. I used Timers to get data Consistently as Web services does not support data push like flash remoting. Due to budget issue, i have to use web service in my project for educational learning.

I have created game lobby in flash, where user can chat, see whose online, and create or join game. One main question: Can i do all of them in frames without using external actionscript files?like coding in first frame.

1st swf: Game Lobby --> press create button --> 2nd swf: Game Create Border -->3rd swf: Press 2 , 3 ,4 or 6 players button -> 4th swf: Game.

Massively Multiplayer Online Flash Games
Hello, I was recently wondering about something. Well, I'm sure we've all heard of ***** Hotel (http://www.*****hotel.com/)...but, now...I'm really wondering just how they do it? Does anyone care to share the secrets of what Flash MMOG's (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) are all about and what Sulake (http://www.sulake.com/), the people behind the programming, are all about?

I mean, I really want to start getting into the habbit of making my own (they are a money pit). And I believe that I can make a much nicer one...something with more of an edge. In any case, will anyone please tell me what tools or things I might need as well as what I need to learn? Perhaps even some tutorials on it?

Any help would be appreciated...

Flash Multiplayer Game...
I've been researching and planning a project and wanted to ask a few questions first. Hopefully I can get some assistance, I know I'm at one of the best resources out there.

I am planning on making an online fishing game, multiplayer, using mainly flash for the graphics / programming. I know I am going to need Communication Server also. I am also going to be using Flash and Microsoft Access to create a forum section. I can create the realtime chat room using Flash and Communication Server, I believe...

What Im hoping to have is tournaments where members logged in, can play the flash fishing game, ( it is going to be very realistic when it comes to fish species, colors, baits, lures, time of year, time of day, water temperature, fish location, etc... ) and the player that catches the most weight in their livestock, will be the leader of the tournament, I need flash to keep track of the players scores at weigh-in time, and post the results on the website, should that be done using actionscript or something else?

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get on this matter.

Thanks a lot everyone...

Flash Multiplayer Game
How exactly would I go about this?

I'm considering making a multiplayer monopoly game, I've never made anything multiplayer before so I thought I would start with something like this. (This does seem relatively simple, to me at least.)

I don't really need accounts or anything complicated, I would just like to know how I can get multiple users to view the same game screen at the same time. Online. I'll worry with more complicated stuff later.

There seems to be a complete lack of online multiplayer tutorials. Is this because they're too difficult to make?

Thanks. : )

I'm using Actionscript 2, however I can upgrade if it's necessary. I've been meaning to for a very long time...and have necessary fundage too.

Flash Multiplayer Game

Thank you!!

Q

Multiplayer Flash Game..
i'm having some trouble.. i'm working on a multiplayer flash game using the xml socket.. well the problem is it does nothing when it recieves data.. the server is hand written in vc++ and works fine, i tested it with a dummy client written in c++.. strangley it behaves as expected with onClose and onConnect..
help

Code:
_global.recieved=new XML;
_global.mySock = new XMLSocket();
_global.myConnect = function() {
return mySock.connect(ip, 8888);
};
mySock.onConnect = function(success) {
if (success) {
_root.myControlClip.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = 'Ai fost conectat.. ';
}
};
mySock.onClose = function() {
myControlClip.gotoAndStop(4);
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = 'Ups..';
};/*
mySock.onData = function(){
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = '*****';
};*/
function myOnXML(recieved) {

Multiplayer Flash Game With Db Under It, Fast Enough?
Hello guys,

If I wanted to make a multiplayer game in flash, that has an access db on the webserver to keep the clients in sync, and the clients call asp pages to do queries on the db (with loadVariables)(like the state of the map), about twice a second would be nice but certainly not slower then once a second. Would this be fast enough ? The asp pages would return for the map about 100 integers and for player information some strings.
I'm not talking flash only here, its asp and flash and db access...
Anyone tried this or has some experience with this ?  
All thoughts welcome.
thnx!

Need Advice From A Flash Expert On Multiplayer Game
I have a client that wants a free online poker game using flash on his website. I have created different flash chat rooms before without the server software by using the loadvariables command to post information and retrieve information from an sql database. There was little if any lag with those chat rooms.

I know you could never use that type of setup for any kind of action game, but with a turn based game such as chess, poker, battleship, it works well because the half second delay doesnt make a difference.

My question and concern is, this guy has over 10,000 visitors a day, and im curious what kind of load that would put on a system like this. This might be more of a server question, but my chat rooms were fine with 100 or so people. Just didnt know if 10000 would make it worse?

An Online Multiplayer Theory....
hey, im hoping some people will be able to throw some ideas at me here...im not asking for direct help, just some thoeries you ight be able to come up with...i wrote more than i intended so bere with me here

ive made a game engine, i supose the best way to describe it is a 2 player war strategy/action game...it currently runs nicely on a single machine where the players are both using the same mouse and KB. The players take it in turns to move their platoons/tanks/turrets etc and make an attack. for example player A moves a tank to a location then fires at player B's platoon. player B may then respond by launhing an air raid on player A's tank....etc, the game continus until a team becomes victorious by eliminating the oposition.

its a fun game providing you have somone physically in the room with you to play, which is where my online multiplayer theory comes into the fray. I got the idea when looking over a FlashChat thing, if you can send text, then why not send variables. My flash skills are fine however my PHP programing leaves somthing to be desired, which is why im reading up on it as i write this. I think ive gathered enough info to come up with a theory an this is how it goes....

player A moves his tank on and fires North.
he then writes a line in a mini chat section at the bottom of the screen, somthing along the lines of 'haha...take that sucker'. Then he preses send.

on send flash writes a the message variable to New_message.php and the NEW tank co-ordinates to New_move.php and the direction of fire to New_shot.php.

while player A is deciding and making his move Player B's screen just has a message like 'waiting for opposition response'...
his SWF file is on a loop reading the values in
New_message.php
New_move.php
and
New_Shot.php

when it discovers values outside the default "0" it will bring up a button saying 'accept move' the relitive Tank on his screen will move to the X and Y co-ordinates it reads from New_move.php, the shot will be fired to the X and Y co-ords specified in New_shot.php and finally the message specified in New_message.php will be displayed....

all values are set back to "0" and control turns over to player B....

so...um theres my theory, any Advice, comments and more importantly problems you can forsee would be much appreciated. i can se this game workin because it dosent need to work in real-time, wheres a game like Pong would suffer from lag, this should be ok. Once the variables have been recieved the SWF will take care of the rest and EVERYTHING will be displayed the same on both screens....

oops, i typed alot, sorry

[general AS] Online Multiplayer: Getting Started
Hi, folks.

I think it's time I tried making a Flash project where multiple visitors to a website interact with one another. (I think this is called remoting, but I'm really not sure.) I'm currently deep into AS3, but would like to know how to implement an online multiplayer (or multi-user, I guess) system in both AS3 and AS2.

Where's a good place to get started? In particular, what online resources are available for someone interested in these technologies? And how do I test what I create- preferably, on one machine?

Online Multiplayer Bumper Cars - Anyone Wanna Help With The Muliplayer Part?
Im almost done with my bumpercar game (HERES THE LINK), and I was hoping to convert it into a multiplayer version that can be played online with up to 15-20 users. I have it all planned out, I just dont know how to set up the server//php-perl end.

I made everything compatible, (ie: hittest with multiple cars, updating car locations for every car, ect.) It would be easy for someone who knows Flash and either PHP or CGI. XML would help too.

Im looking for someone trustworthy, hard working, and motivated for this job. Someone who will go untill it is finished. I have made a multiplayer chat with moving charactors, which is very similar before, with the help of a scripter.

Thanks in advance!

ALSO...Id like to say that Im open for comments on what I have so far. I know there are some flaw's with some of the hittest things and bouncing off other cars, and that will all be fixed. Please let me know what you think!

Multiplayer Game In As3
Hi all, i've written a 2 player game in AS3 and it can be seen at http://msav.memo.tv. At the moment you can play against an opponent using the same keyboard, or AI - obviously I would like to add versus over the internet.

I know enough PHP/MySQL to allow users to register their game onto my server with game name, IP address, password (if desired) etc. temporarily in a database, and let other users browse the currently active games.

What I don't know is how do I then communicate between the two users in flash? In a slower paced game I could just send all relevant data to my PHP server and that would constantly send data back and forth between the two games to keep them in sync (or if there were 100 games going on it would have to manage all of that!). But in such a fast paced game as msav I don't think that would work (or would it?).

Is there any way of getting the two flash instances to connect directly? i.e. my PHP/MySQL back end would keep track of what games are registered, and would establish the handshake between the two flash instances, but then they would communicate directly? I couldnt find any info or documentation on this kinda stuff. Could the socket class be used for this? I've read the help files on that and understand what it was designed for... but can it be used for what I would like?

any suggestions welcome,

cheers,
