I am now able to make basic single player games… i am still in the process of learning though. But to make an online multiplayer game, i was told i should learn Java or XML sockets… Where should i start? I am currently reading through Learning AS3: A Beginner’s Guide… Can anyone recommend a book or two that i should read next?
