Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I mainly blog about the basics of running Flash games over the internet, but sometimes I get distracted. Here you will find my efforts at programming turn based Flash games, plus links to all the games I have written. You are free (as in beer) to get all the code, just email me - nicolas_evans at yahoo.com (sorry you cant click on it - I dont want more spam).

Building Multiplayer Games in Flash.

Hi. One of my goals has to write multiplayer games that update in real-time, that is the server pushes information, rather than the client pulls it by polling every few seconds. Basically a socket server. My investigations have not found a way to do this that is both simple and cheap. So instead I shall be concentrating on moving away from the alternate turn model, and towards progressive updates of the board. But still using the polling server method. I shall let you know my progress.
