Hi Guys,
I was hoping someone could help me.
Just so you guys know beforehand I’m very familiar with Flash in terms of offline games, I’ve made the odd shooter here and there, but I don’t have a clue as to where I can start into making an online game. Here’s what I’m hoping to achieve:
An 2d online game similar to Super Smash Bros
A user goes to my site, opens up the flash movie, can choose to create a new game, or join an existing one
Max of 6 players per game, at last 2 human per game, after a timeout of 30 secs and no one else joins, the 1st player can select a certain number of bots to join with them and the other player
Each player can select a character of their choice, and fight to the death!
The game needs to be fast and flowing, but very pretty (plenty of colour and lights)
The user can create an account with the game,
and if so, when they finish a match and they come third or higher in the rankings,
their name gets added to a score board, along with the total number of points theyve accumulated since they started playing the game.
I realise this is a lot to ask i one post, but this is what I want to achieve eventually. I’m afraid flash won’t support some of my aspirations, like the fast flowing game play, and I was wondering if there’s a better alternative if this is the case?
At the minute, I’d really appreciate guide on how to set up the basics of what i want ie real time multiplayer! Just even to be able to go online to my app, and have 2 cubes on screen. the first computer to connect is assigned ube 1 then the next cmputer to connect is assigend cube 2, and if i moved cube1 using the keyboard1, id see cube 1 moving on both computer screens if you know what i mean?
Thanks for any help!
