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,

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...

Multiplayer Simul Game Help
I've finished a java server backend for XML, everything is working, data is being recieved and stored in an array.

Heres the function that works:

Code:
function handleIncoming (messageObj) {
trace("--------new data received-----------");
trace(">>" + messageObj.toString() + "<<");
trace("-------- end of new data -----------");

log += "::::Message recieved::::";

var user = messageObj.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
var message = messageObj.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
var msg_array:Array = message.split(",");

if (user != username) {

var x = msg_array[1];
var y = msg_array[2];
var dir = msg_array[3];

}
}

All variables work, and are filled. My question now is how do I create a movieclip, a black square, when another player joins, and update his x, y, and dir when he moves on other clients? How do I handle this x y dir data thats successfully being recieved? thanks!

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.

Multiplayer Game Links ?
Though I haven't even made any good one player games, I am working on a simple multiplayer game and I am looking for some info. I have searched a bit, but I'm not finding what I want. What I am talking about is two people playing against (or with) each other at the same time. Obviously it would be on the web or across a network, but so far I haven't found too many decent tutorials.

Is this possible and if so does anyone have some good leads?

Thanks

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) {
trace("**");
_root.myControlClip.myMsg = "**";
//_root.myControlClip.myMsg = XML.toString(recieved);

Multiplayer Game, Need Advice...
Hello

I'm going to make an online multiplayer game, with the classic theme of spaceships flying around and shooting eachother. I need some advice before I start to make plans for the core of this system.

The GUI is Flash 8, have thought of a "game engine"/server made in .NET framework, and a SQL Server as database.

I'm not sure where to put all the game calculations, as enemies, hit tests and such. Should the players just send in information of what button they press to the server, and let the server calculate their spaceships position, or should this be calculated at the players computer? What should be sent to/from the server, the buttons that have been pressed or the spaceships and other things x/y-position and rotation?

If someone have any recomendations, I would appreciate some help before I start my project!

Regards

Henrik, sweden

Multiplayer Game Solutions
I was wondering if there was any free/cheap backend solutions for multi player flash games.

I think I could run turn-based games with amfphp and MySQL memory tables. Although... Rather inefficient with the constant calls to check for new data with the way I was thinking. :/

Is Red5 is just designed for Streaming music and video? Does Flash Player 9/AS3 have the capabilities, and is there a server program good enough to get down to around 100ms response times for games??

Getting 1kb of data from MySQL:
AmfPHP:
Total time: 181 ms
Encode time: 1 ms
Send/receive time: 180 ms
Decode time: 0 ms
Network time: 159 ms

Total amfphp time: 21 ms
Framework time: 15 ms
Amf decode time: 0 ms
Service include time: 0 ms
Service call time: 5 ms
Amf encode time: 1 ms

XML Dynamic Variables For A Multiplayer Game
(moved from XML page- boy is it dead there!)

Hello. I am currently making a flash game. Actionscipt is a breeze for me, and now i am considering making a multiplayer game. I know it is possible with xml, because i know it can send variables to and fro. The problem is, I dont know where to start. I saw some tutes on macromedia but they confused me somewhat. If someone could help me start a basic script, I can build on it.
Problem: Sending the variable "status" over a page. This variabvle changes back and fourth depending on the opposite 'player'.
Hypothesis: I know that a simple script can send the variable "status" to a http(s)? for the other 'pleyer'
Experiment: a little script help?
(By the way, this is for flash 5)
Thanks in advance

FMS3 As Multiplayer Game Server
Hi Guys,

I'm busy looking for stats on how many connections / users FMS Interactive server can take. We are planning a multiplayer chat / gaming environment based on flash technology.

All stats that i've found so far talk about streaming video limits, not gaming terms. Is there a rough ballpark on how many concurrent users I can expect from a server? 500 / 1000 / 3000 ??? (servers are dedicated by the way, all database / files etc will be elsewhere).

We are also looking at going down the origin + 2 edge servers as an initial setup. What result would this have on number of connections? i.e would each server add less connections in edge mode than it would if it were a standalone server?

I realise that a lot of this is down to how our app is built but some theoretical knowledge would be very handy... we are aiming for a 10k concurrent user setup.

Many thanks for any information

p.s. we have specs for a quad core, 2Gb RAM, running RedHat ES4 - i know this will make a big difference too

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?

Post Your Multiplayer Game Idea - ElectroServer
-- Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. It seemed like the right choice...

Hi guys,

We at Electrotank would like to hear your multiplayer game ideas. If you have a good solid multiplayer game idea that you'd love to build out, then post it here!

We would like to offer a free version of ElectroServer 3 and a year worth of hosting to someone who we think would benefit greatly from it. If you feel that what is holding you back from developing a great multiplayer game is the price tag that usually comes along with it, then this could be a great opportunity for you!

Basic "rules"Electrotank is not looking to build any of these games. We have our own great ideas.

Please post if you are serious.

Electrotank can help provide you with guidance, especially with regard to the multiplayer hurdles. Other aspects of the game are up to you and your team if you have one.

If you'd prefer to email me directly rather than to post here, then do so: mike@electrotank.com

Electrotank will choose a person or team if we feel that it is a good choice. This isn't a contest, so we can't just guarantee that we'll select someone.

I'll post here when we have finished our search.

Why are we doing this? Well, ElectroServer 3 is a very successful product. Its being used by great companies like Nickelodeon, Rubiks, MiniClip, etc. What we are missing though are indie developers creating really cool creative "youthful" games, like rpgs, racing games, shot-em-ups, etc. We'd like to see a lot more of that.

We aren't asking for the source code. The only "catch" is that you can only keep the license if you finish the game.

Hopefully we'll get at least a few interested replies!

Multiplayer Game / Socket Server Template - How To Structure?
I am working on what I hope becomes an excellent starting point for Flash developers who want to make a multiplayer game. The basic idea is that I want to create a project like AMFPHP which is easy to set up which provides the basic building blocks for socket communications between online users connection from different machines. Minimally, it would consist of a socket server written in PHP (intended to run as a daemon) and Some Flash and Actionscript components to connect to the script using XMLSockets or perhaps even binary sockets.

What is the best format for the Flash part of this project? Should I create a flash file or should I create some Actionscript includes that dynamically create login elements, windows, etc. Most multiplayer games start with a game selection interface which is much like AIM or ICQ or some other chat program. For instance, my sample client currently requires 3 frames: login/nickname selection, game view and selection, and then the game itself. As it stands, my flash project contains quite a bit of Actionscript...should I move this to an Actionscript file? Is it possible to create a component that can simply be dragged into the library of an empty flash project?

I'm sure there are other questions I'll have but this is at least something to start with.

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.
