Hello, I know people have asked this before, but for the most part the answers have not been useful. I have built a rather simple flash game, the point of the game: Click the square. Whoever clicks the square first, gets the point. The only thing not set up is the multiplayer part. Now I have my own server, and I’m trying to stay away from player.IO and Smartfox (partically because smartfox refuses to run on my machine, and player.io is rather limited). I fooled around with node.js, but what I could find was too out of date. The server I have uses php and mysql, and I’m pretty sure I can use the php for the multiplayer functionality, but I don’t even have the slightest clue where to start. I do know flash has to be on a socket server, and like I said I do not need anything super crazy as far as multiplayer functionality goes, it’s just whoever clicks the square first.
Now I know this is a very large, broad, complicated subject, but if you have any resources you might be able to tell me about (books, web sites, ect.) that does NOT use smartfox/player.IO , or maybe if you could give me the quick and dirty rundown, or some points on where to START, that would be amazing.
Thank you for your time.
