[SIZE=2]Hey guys, currently im creating a game that(hopefully)(but quite possibly) will be a mmorpg. but i have run into a problem[/SIZE][SIZE=2] or more or less a dilema. see the thing is when i have a player walk around i want something to record his position at all times this way if the player shuts down his computer or osmehting then his position is still recorded. now ive had many ideas but i have no clue which is the best or if any of them are even correct. anyways heres a list of what i had in mind(if anyone else has any ideas they woul dbe more than welcome)
[/SIZE][LIST]
[][SIZE=2]Run a php script in the background and constantly update a mysql database**(unlikely)**[/SIZE]
[][SIZE=2]Create a Text file for each user on registration, then record his coord’s in it with PHP? flash?(Possible)[/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=2]create an XML file and update the file for each user on a certain map’s position W/ Flash? PHP?(for exampel the file would carry information on everyones position)(Possible)[/SIZE][/LIST][SIZE=2]Anyways those are what i have and befor eyou go on i think you shoudl take a quick peek at what i have of my game as of right now to maybe make a judgement on this:
