Sea Battle Game 1.0

The very powerful and extensible ASP-based multiplayer game engine we write in this article is not for the 3-D shooter, but it will suit almost all turn-based desk games. For example, to apply it to a card game or the game of chess, all you need to do is add specific logic and design. “Engine” is an abstract thing, so we will use a tic-tac-toe game since it has very simple logic and will allow us to pay more attention to the engine. In bonus code for download you will find the more complex game “Sea Battle,” which is very famous in the Ukraine. Sea Battle uses nontrivial logic, implemented in a server-side component written with VC++.



ASP is not just the glue of ActiveX objects and databases but independent server-side web applications as well. This article will show the power of VBScript programming language and more. This engine does not use any ActiveX objects, JAVA applets, DHTML, databases, and transactions – just pure ASP programming. Of course, you probably will use all of the above techniques in your application to implement logic and design.
