[ozzie-ing]

it is possible to do it in flash
i reccomend www.electro-server.com
and Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Game Design Demystified
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...925154-0299052
but its not just online games covered its all aspects i find both hugley helpful

Chats are programmed in Java,Php and Dcr or what ever.

Dcr? - There is no such coding, DCR is a Macromedia Director file

Most MMORPGS are coded in Java SYNTAX ( as seen by runescape ). Other MMROPG are based with combinations within Lingo ( such as HabboHotel ). The lingo can be joint up with Fuse LIGHT and other coding; LocZ (etc) Sprite movement so on and so forth.

Flash will never be compatible for making something on a scale such as an MMORPG. Action script is too weak of a source to hold so many handlers and sprite actions within a couple of codes and will suffer major lag within the mmorpg.

Hey,

For you they may be reletivly simple but for me i've found learning Lingo hard. But I don't have the time nor the patience.

What exsactly makes the advanced langwages "/ and Javas a relativly simple one, not BASIC, but no giant leaps "/

[Php]

i need some online free tuts, to know how to make a little online rubbish game, just walking back and for across the screen will be a start, thats all i need
any ideas?

[Php]

*bump*
Dan do you know any little tuts?

[Dan Williamson]

Hey,

Theres not many Lingo tutorials around on the web that tell you much. Your best learning it from books.

But for Java and API etc and whatever Java uses there are some interesting tutorials on www.Pixel2life.com

P.S:

Don't double post

Ive never learnt lingo or realy worked with it at all so cant comment on that? i was just asking what makes it harder than any other langwage?

But for Java and API etc and whatever Java uses there are some interesting tutorials on www.Pixel2life.com

API? Thats not a langwage, its a thing? you can utalise Apis in anything from PHP, to well any programming langwage out there. Api or Advanced programming interfaces are basicly just functions that are left exsposed in one application so rather than reinventing the wheel other appications can just use whats already there. Like Winodws for example has tones of API componets u can call to do any number of things, winodows made these so its easyer for deveopers to make apps for winodows etc "/
Or in a javascript example even, u can call on the Google maps API to display any data you wish for your own sites "/

i dont need lingo, all i want is a little flash tut to show me how to make a little multiplayer game or w/e...

[Dan Williamson]

Hey,

Cheers Mentor for correcting me again all I knew is that API can be used within Java somehow. But i've never really studied Java.

And as for Lingo it's supposed to be hard because of all the coding and sprite stuff but I don't know so I can't comment on it either i've been told that it's a difficult language.

Anyway I plan to learn it at college and maybe start studying more stuff to do with OOP and using it in VB6 and then perhaps move onto things like Lingo, start off easy and then get advanced

Edit: Skies there are lots of Flash tutorials to do game creation on Pixel2life.com and also it tells you usually how to do the action script coding.

Some tutorials are actually really helpful but if your a code sniffer who copies and pastes code then they're not really that helpful as you don't learn nothing.

Also on Macromedia.com there are quite a few Video Tutorials which are done by the developers themselves so check that out as well.

hey guys, seen as we have been talking bout computer languages i was just wondering, im just making a little flash movie, Little Stick men one, just to fiddle round with all of the tools and that, well i create a stick man doing a circle with motion teen, and set it to CW so it goes round in a circle,like it looks like its doing a backflip, but when i do it, it looks awful jumpy, no wot i mean, like you get those flash movies, with smooth movements and everything, but when i do the motion tween , its like sorta jumpy, any idea how to make it smoother

thanks x
