Flash Board Game - If a player's destination space has a player on it already, move one more space.

I have been struggeling with this for sometime and I am totally stuck. In my flash boardgame I am trying to make players unable to land ontop of each other. The code I am currently using compares the current space of Red Player comparing it to where the other player is. What I need to know, is how do I make it compare Red Player's target space to the other player's current space.
function moveRedPiece():void
          trace("Spin Complete");
          for (var i:int = 0; i < numberOfMoves; i++){
                    currentSpaceRed += 1;
                    if (redArray[currentSpaceRed].x == p1.x && redArray[currentSpaceRed].y == p1.y && i == numberOfMoves - 1) {
                                          currentSpaceRed +=1;
                                          trace("RED BUMP");
                    else {
                                          trace("not landing on blue");
                    while (currentSpaceRed >= redArray.length) {
                                          currentSpaceRed -= redArray.length;
                    redtargetX = redArray[currentSpaceRed].x;
                    redtargetY = redArray[currentSpaceRed].y;
                    plasticUpSound.play();
                    var redTween:TweenMax = new TweenMax(p2, 1.5, {x:redtargetX+3,y:redtargetY+4,ease:Expo.easeInOut, onComplete:dropMeRed});

each space should have a variable that indicates if it is unoccupied or occupied by red or occupied by the other player.

About MultiplayerOnline Flash Board game

Here is my three tier applcation:
Client Layer : Flash AS3
Application Layer: Asp.net
Database Layer: SQL Server
i have created my websites for asp.net, game programming has
been done, but the only problem is i want a real time basis for
creating a MMO Flash board game. But, how am i going to do that? I
tried webservice package, but It only have PULL technology which is
not suitable for real time basis. Is there any good ideas on what i
should use? i heard about Sockets, XMLSockets, .NET Flash
Remoting..but i am confused on what to use.

Basically you can use anything that uses the rtmp protocol,
like FMS, Red5, Wowza, SmartfoxServer and you can have a look at
WebORB, a remoting package that also has a Publisher/Producer
(comes in a .net flavor too).

About flash Board game

Hi all , i wanna ask a question regarding flash board game.
i have an online flash application of chinese checkers board
games that can be allowed up to 12 games rooms maximum.
The question i wanted to ask is that if i got 12 game rooms ,
do i need 12 different swf files for 2 players , another 12
different swf files got 3 players , another 12 different swf files
for 4 players and 6 players ?
Please someone can enlighten me ? thank you

I think this has more to do with the domain logic (how you
structure your game and what you want it to do) than it does
ActionScript.
There is no reason you couldn't write a chinese checkers game
with a dynamic amount of rooms all in one swf.

Creating Flash Board Game (Multiplayer online)

Hi,
Right now i am doing on a project on Chinese Checkers which
have 2 players, 3 players, 4 players, 6 players. I used SQL Server
as database. game programmed in AS3, and i used web services to
connect them. I used Timers to get data Consistently as Web
services does not support data push like flash remoting. Due to
budget issue, i have to use web service in my project for
educational learning.
I have created game lobby in flash, where user can chat, see
whose online, and create or join game. One main question: Can i do
all of them in frames without using external actionscript
files?like coding in first frame.
1st swf: Game Lobby --> press create button --> 2nd
swf: Game Create Border -->3rd swf: Press 2 , 3 ,4 or 6 players
button -> 4th swf: Game.

an as2 swf will work when loaded by an as3 swf. the two can
communicate using the localconnection class.

Creating a board game

I'm making a "board game" in Flash with Actionscript 3.0.
When the player lands on a certain space, I want a window to pop up
& they complete a word search game. The faster they complete
the word search, the more points they would earn. I already have it
working so that the word search swf pops up at the right time, but
I'm not sure how to grab the time they completed the game in &
send it back to the main movie. I got the word search code from
here:
http://www.subtangent.com/flash/
and it's written in Actionsript 2.0. Is it still possible to use
both together? If so, how can I send the time back to my main movie
to figure out their score?
Thanks,

Question about creating a traditional board game with

I'm creating a classic board game (i.e. monopoly, sorry,
mouse trap) where the users will move based on the random result of
a roll of dice. The board has 100 squares that the piece can land
on.
What's the best way to give all 100 squares a value so that I
can take the current value of the player piece (movieclip) and add
the result of the dice roll?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Note: I'm developing this game for Flash Lite.

use array t store value of squares n then add the
corresponding value t the value of dice generated randomly using
math.random fuction. -- atulag

Why wont my paddle work anymore in my flash catching game?

Hey guys im making a flash game for a uni project and i had it all working great! I then proceeded to move my code and content onto the second frame to add menus and such to the game and i updated all the code so it should work on the second frame and the game still works great apart from my paddle no long moving and i cant figure out at all what ive done.
this is the code for the actual game part of it. sorry for the clutter of it but im not good with code!
could anyone tell me what i need to do to get my paddle moving again!

11.7.700.169 Error: "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working" -- HELP!!!

I have encountered this problem many times now. Way to many to be anywhere near happy about. I can understand having an issue with it and looking up stuff on my smart phone instead. But this program is also affecting my online game World of Warcraft. I'm not happy.
Anytime I open any program that uses the flashplayer, I get the pop up window of "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working", and then it force closes.
I have repeatedly removed it, re-installed, you name it. It's not working.

When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:

Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.

Ok, lets start. The first option you gave me. Didn't work. I went into safe mode like it said (RealPlayer is not on this computer). The problem still presisted. I then made a new profile, and still the same responces. Tried default one more, no avail.
I then prceeded to the step for the mms.cfg file. Unfortunately, I cannot access that file. It's not readable on the computer. (Such problems with every turn I take )
So, I then proceeded to the second option of the hardware acceleration. Talk about falling flat on my face. It wouldn't even pull up my type of flash for me to even access the settings. It gave me the little sad face stating "Adobe Flash has crashed".
I have provided screen shots of what I get when I get the Adobe crashes.
This is the first popup window I get whenever I start to have issues with Flash.
This is showing what I got for the type of flash. except, first time it showed, there was the sad "Flash Crashed" face image. Notice the notification in the right bottom on the screen. That pops up everytime Flash forces close.
This is the sad "Flash crashed" face I am talking about. And yes, I submit reports everytime I get the chance to.
I don't know if this would help. But this popup happens occasionally with the Flash popup.
Just an FYI; that first Flask Popup even occured everytime I went to attach an image. Hopefully this will help figure out what's going on. Please let me know if you need more info.

Pogo board games. What they are using?

Hi,
I been to Pogo.com and tested board games. All are made with JAVA.There games are 2D.
1 - Can some one tell me what mix of techonologies they are using. Board, Poker games? .
2 - Can we made these games with Java 2D library?
3 - What multiplayer server they are using for multiplayer games. Any idea?
4 - How do you find creating games with Java 2D instead of flash (any idea). Is it easy to use 2D library?

Hi,
I been to Pogo.com and tested board games. All are made with JAVA.There games are 2D.
1 - Can some one tell me what mix of techonologies they are using. Board, Poker games? . Well, I would think you have answered your own question before you have even asked it--Java.
2 - Can we made these games with Java 2D library?Yes.
3 - What multiplayer server they are using for multiplayer games. Any idea?Are you asking if there are multiplayer gaming engines that you can incorporate into your software instead of programming it yourself?
4 - How do you find creating games with Java 2D instead of flash (any idea). Is it easy to use 2D library?You lean Java, study the tutorials on Graphics and 2D, then write what you like.
5 - If we use 2D library than we need to know Java to work on that?Ummm... well, yes, of course: do you have to know French to speak it?
thanks in advance.

Ok, i am lost. do i need to re install adobe flash for games in facebook thru explorer

I have adobe flash 12 installed in programs section. it is enabled. I can play facebook games thru chrome. when i try to play via explorer, it says must install latest version. do i need to re install via windows, or does that 12 already run? Pat Willener gave a link to see if it is installed and it says it is not, but it is in my programs section already and enabled

"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash-based Games Appear as White pages after Chrome Update with Adobe selected as the plugin

Chrome auto-updated today and since then most of the Flash games load to a white screen. I always have the Macromedia/Adobe Flash plugin enabled and Pepper Flash disabled, but I'm finding the only way I can display any flash-related games is to disable the Adobe and enable PepperFlash. The games load, I can hear them, and in some cases the cursor changes to the theme for that game, but the screen will remain white. Once this started I updated Adobe the latest one, as there must have been a recent release...same problem. If I have the Macromedia/Adobe Flash Plugin enabled I need to click to any other open tab and then click back again and then scroll slightly and the video will be there immediately. If I disable Macromedia/Adobe Flash and enable PepperFlash the games display the video with no problem. These are the exact pages that were working just fine with the Macromedia/Adobe plugin enabled immediately before allowing the Chrome to auto-update.
Also, when I go to the Adobe site to test the versions it displays the correct revision for the version that's enabled at the time, 12.0.0.41 for pepperflash and 12.0.0,43 for Adobe, but even when the Adobe is the only one enabled and I have closed and reopened the Chrome browser before testing, the site tells me I have the Adobe Flash disabled while still giving the correct version.
I tried Ingognito mode and it did seem to work, but the only extension I have is AdBlock, which gave me no problems prior. I disabled AdBlock and tried running the games with Adobe enabled again in normal mode...same problem.
Cleared the cache, flash cache...
All just started immediately after the chrome update.
Is anyone else using the same version of Chrome experiencing similar issues with the Macromedia/Adobe flash player enabled?

Update Firefox to the current version which is 9.0.1

Seeking teammate to port Flash web game to iPad/iPhone

I have developed a Flash AS3 game which I like to have ported to iPad and iPhone using the Adobe Air Player and release it in the App Store.
It's a simple & proven concept, with polished gameplay and an original twist in the visuals. The overall game is simple, porting shouldn't take longer than 2-3 weeks (even though I'm not too familiar with any kinks this rather new Air Player Tech might have on the iOs devices).
I'm looking for an individual to port this game. You would receive 50% of the App Store sales (we can do Android+Mac App Store later if we like). I take care of adapting gameplay and screen designs to the different devices, and would promote the game.
Please hit me up if you think you have reasonable experience and this sounds like a fun project to you! [email protected]
Thanks,
Robert

But it does use Flash to play it, the App creator simply packaged/embedded the Adobe Flash Player with his content.
Apple allows Adobe Flash, and Adobe Flash Content, Apple just makes the developer include the Flash Player inside the App.
So yes, it is a Flash game, just played inside an app instead of a webpage, but its the same flash player.

Making a Board Game

I wasn't really sure where to place this thread but here goes. I want to make a simple board game (Checkers or maybe Chess) in two player mode only (One player will come later). I am not sure how exactly to go about it. Are there any special methods or classes I have to implement? I would like to build it so that the pieces, when released, go to the center of the square they are held over. Does this involve any special mapping of the board image? Would it be better to create the board in a paint program and implement it that way or should I use java.awt.geom to do that? And since I don't want to copy somebody else's chess pieces (that would be cheating) is there a way, in java, to create images like that? and if not what imaging program should I use (definitely not adobe photoshop)? Should I even be attempting to do this kind of thing yet?

Here is the code I have so far:
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JChess extends JPanel {
    BasicStroke three;
    public JChess() {
     super();
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
     Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
     three = new BasicStroke(3);
     g2d.setColor(Color.white);
     g2d.fillRect(-100, -100, getSize().width + 100, getSize().height + 100);
     g2d.setColor(Color.black);
     g2d.setStroke(three);
     g2d.translate(75, 75);
     g2d.drawLine(0, 0, 600, 0);
     g2d.drawLine(0, 0, 0, 600);
     g2d.drawLine(0, 600, 600, 600);
     g2d.drawLine(600, 0, 600, 600);
     //first row
     g2d.fillRect(0, 75, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(0, 225, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(0, 375, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(0, 525, 75, 75);
     //second row
     g2d.fillRect(75, 0, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(75, 150, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(75, 300, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(75, 450, 75, 75);
     //third row
     g2d.fillRect(150, 75, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(150, 225, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(150, 375, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(150, 525, 75, 75);
     //fourth row
     g2d.fillRect(225, 0, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(225, 150, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(225, 300, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(225, 450, 75, 75);
     //fifth row
     g2d.fillRect(300, 75, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(300, 225, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(300, 375, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(300, 525, 75, 75);
     //sixth row
     g2d.fillRect(375, 0, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(375, 150, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(375, 300, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(375, 450, 75, 75);
     //seventh row
     g2d.fillRect(450, 75, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(450, 225, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(450, 375, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(450, 525, 75, 75);
     //eighth row
     g2d.fillRect(525, 0, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(525, 150, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(525, 300, 75, 75);
     g2d.fillRect(525, 450, 75, 75);
}As you can see I don't know what I am doing or what I am supposed to do LOL. = )

Board Game problem

Hi!
Im creating a board game and I'm having a problem. The aim of the game is to eliminate the opponent's pieces. Each time a player gets a three in a row of pieces, they are allowed to remove any one of the opponent's pieces.
My problem is this: If a player gets a three in a row, in his next two moves I want to disallow him moving one piece out of this three in a row and then back into it so as to try and remove another of the opponent's pieces with the same three in a row.
Here is the Player Class
public class Player
     char piece;
     String name;
     int numberofPieces;
     Player(char pieceVal, String name){
               this.piece=pieceVal;
               this.name=name;
               numberofPieces = 5;
}So when a player gets three in a row, I want to record his 3 in a row, and watch his next two steps and prevent him from having the same 3 in a row after 2 steps.
Can anyone help me? It has been wrecking my head for 2 days now!!
Thank you.

How about keeping a turn counter as well as the coordinates of the pieces in the player's last 3 in a row?
