Real time multiplayer game

[bounceboy]

Ok, i know plenty of people who can help here...

I want to make a multiplayer online game in flash.

What I am making is a game where you battle other people by attacking the object or animal they put onto feild.

how big your attack is and how much HP you have will all be stored on your computer and it will rise as you win more.

In case nobody noticed, I want to make it so you can battle other people ONLINE.

I am going to have 5 rooms each where 2 people can battle at a time. anybody can watch if they like.

anyways, I need to know where I should be storing all the data or how it will send it all...

I need recommendations!

Should I be using PHP, txt, XML, SQL, ASP, what?

somebody tell me how i can accomplish this...

Please don't attempt to do this with with any of those tactics. Get a real time media server. Red5 or FMS are great starting points.

This kind of thing is NOT suited for the basic web technologies.

I tried red5 which for some reason failed.
as well as heaps of other open source servers.
FMS i cant find, could you plase give me a link?

also from these scripts and stuff in the servers, what file does it save the info into? if i could figure out where it saves i could have my chatroom working perfectly in no time.

Bounceboy, want some help?

Your project sounds interesting.

Like you I would like to make online multiplayer flash game.
I am new to this as well so we can learn it together.

Hello SilentNSly, thanks for replying.

I'm happy to have people help with this project, I can easily make this but all I need is the server. I need rather a remote server (nobody say red5 im already trying that) or somewhere to store the data.

Anyway sure you can help but my stuff probably seems a bit silly.

Basically you put a "battling" pineapple out. try to beat the other opponent's pineapple to steal "points" pineapples from them. with these you can buy stuff to upgrade your fighting one.

Also there's a special Golden pineapple. there's only one of it and if you beat whoever has it, you get it from them.

thats kinda everything. I hope we can find a server soon

You can try using the Union Platform (http://www.unionplatform.com/) as they provide a free server (24/7) to test on.

Hmm, i will look into it soon.

Also I am sorry but i think i got what you said wrong before. I can easily make the stuff myself and the only help i need is a server. so i think everything might be solved now.
