Making rooms for a multiplayer game

Hi all,
I 'm working on a first facebook game using Cirrus & P2P, I'm wondering if there is a way to create multiple rooms so the user can choose to join a specified group and play with other users or create his own group.
I think that it can be done by creating a "specifiedGroup" netGroup for each room, but the question is :
How could I manage those groups, how can I know there numbers, there names, listing them to other users and suppress theme if they are empty ?
Any Idea ? thanks.

    I downloaded a new APP to my iPhone it appears on my screen but can't get it to appear on my wife's iPhone screen.  Her screens were initially full of Apps, I later made room for the new APP but can't get it to appear even after  making room for the new APp.  It can be opened, but I want the APP to be on her iPhone screen as well as on mine.  Help, please.

    Is the app downloaded on her phone also?

  • Making music for commercial video game with Garage Band?

    Can I use Garage Band and it's istruments/DLC instrument packs to create music for a commercial game?
    Is the music mine mine MINE? Or do I have to pay royalties to Apple?

    Not only that, but you are free to use the Apple loops, too. Warning: Some large commercial firms have used Garageband for the same purpose and they have sometimes issued YouTube take down notices thinking that you are copying their content when you use some parts of GB.

  • Making Room for Final Cut Studio 2

    hiya been a long time since ive been on.
    so here's my problem, right now im working on a g5 tower dual 2.0 2.5 gig ram, very nice machine and has served me well for my final cut and production audio needs. i just recently bought a macbook pro 2.2 version with 120 gig of harddrive space, after hearing that sweet gong sound of the first boot up on a shinny new laptop, i was slightly sad when i saw that i only had 80 gig of space available on my hardddrive. id like to install final cut studio 2 when i get it, along with all the content, and still have room for programs such as tracktor dj studio 3, my music, and creative suite three...
    ive thought about deleting all the unneccesarry programs such as imovie, garage band, idvd, ect. ect. but im unsure what this will do to my system, and what exactly i can get rid of to give me that extra 10 gig or so.
    my question is; 1. can i delete imovie and all the unnecessary junk im never going to use with out system problems? and and 2. what else can i get rid of to give me that extra gig or so, so i can pack this baby with software, and not bog down my system
    peace n love

    The Final Cut Studio applications only take up about 4gb of space. The other 56gb of content include LiveType Data, SoundTrack Loops, tutorials, templates, etc. You have the option during the installation process to install the "extras" on another drive ... leaving plenty of space on your boot drive.

  • Call servlet for my multiplayer game info..

    Hello guys,
    I am a game developer and currently i am working on one multiplayer poker game...
    I have designed game flow chart and it works great...
    now in my game i need to display all table information in a table at lobby
    .at the time of connection i send this information to player as a response to its request.
    but i want to update this information at regular interval.For that i have created one thread which request for the same and in response i send updated information...
    but this is some bundle some....
    i want to make that after some time server it self send data to client as a response with out resuest..
    i read about JAXT which is regarding to web application in that they use one xml file for data transfer...can i use the same for my requirement?
    I thought that socket is the solution but there are to much data to send on socket so is there any other way to
    SEND DATA TO CLIENT WITHOUT ANY REQUEST??

    If you made a backup before you restored it you can restore your iPhone from a backup and your game data should be restored.  When you connect your iPhone in iTunes you can right click on it in the sidebar and select restore from backup.

  • Making Room for xmobar in xmonad [SOLVED]

    Hello,
    I'm quite new to xmonad (and am loving it), and need some help with setting up xmobar. The xmonad entry in the wiki helped me setup xmobar right, although the section describing how to make space for it was not very descriptive (at least for a newbie who doesn't know haskell.)
    I'm supposed to "Wrap your layouts with avoidStruts from XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks for automatic dock/panel/trayer spacing" with the following two lines of code:
    layoutHook = avoidStruts (tiled Tall ||| ...
    manageHook = manageHook defaultConfig <+> manageDocks
    Where is this in relation to the rest of my xmonad.hs? Is it in the main section? Do I have to put anything else in my xmonad.hs or is there anything thats "obvious" that I also need to know?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'm sorry if its a silly question.

    Hi, I was in the same position as you quite recently (and am now a happy xmonad user). Here is my xmonad.hs for reference:
    -- XMonad Haskell Configuration File
    -- - verify code syntax with 'ghci xmonad.hs'
    -- - compile with 'xmonad --recompile' or 'ghc --make xmonad.hs'
    -- Hopefully this is good base on which to build.
    -- Changed from defaultConfig:
    -- - use Mod4 as modMask, i.e. Super key
    -- - allow use of status bar, and start one
    -- - enable mouse follows focus
    -- - change terminal emulator to xterm
    -- - change border width to two pixels
    -- Changes in the future:
    -- - change terminal emulator to urxvt
    -- - make GIMP manageable?
    -- - wrap workspaces with mouse
    -- - change keybindings: application, layout
    -- Layouts to include:
    -- - Xmonad.Layout.Circle, floating circular layout
    -- - Xmonad.Layout.Maximize, maximize a window (like full?)
    -- - XMonad.Layout.Spiral, fibonacci sequence; cool
    -- - XMonad.Layout.IM, multi-window application friendly (GIMP)
    -- Main XMonad source code.
    import XMonad
    -- Allow management of dock programs.
    import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
    -- Allow exec of programs (return handle).
    import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe)
    -- Allow adding or removing keybindings.
    import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys)
    -- Allow Pointer-Follows-Focus.
    import XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer
    -- Allow interfacing with system (get client info).
    import System.IO
    main = do
    xmproc <- spawnPipe "/usr/bin/xmobar /home/egan/.xmobarrc"
    xmonad $ defaultConfig
    { manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig
    , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig
    , logHook = updatePointer Nearest
    , borderWidth = 2
    , terminal = "urxvtc"
    , modMask = mod4Mask
    Basically, you have to include the defaultConfig as well as any other modules you are using. Once you hit the main section, that first line actually launches xmobar so you don't need it in you .xinitrc. Then we define the manageHook and the layoutHook as including manageDocks and avoidStruts in addition to the default code. The logHook is only to allow pointer-follows-focus, and the rest before the } is completely optional, or you can fill in your own values. Hopefully this helps you!

  • Making room for IOS 8 on my iphone.Icloud question.

    The software update for I phone ios 8.0.2 sounds great but unfortunately I dont have space for storage.I have no clue about Icloud.I dont want to delete my apps.Is there any way I can store apps on Icloud & not on the phone & retrieve it just when I need it  to clear space on the phone? Can I use I cloud to store songs etc? If so is there a way to retrieve stuff I store on I cloud with no wifi connection?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.Can you/someone give me direction on installing the update through I tunes? Can I do that despite the lack of space?

  • Multiplayer game programming - Code of a basic server

    I'm a beginner in multiplayer game programming and I'm looking for the code of a basic server for a multiplayer game. I don't mind which kind of game (I mean: chess, ping-pong, battlenet...) The important thing is the code pattern abnd the server structure.
    Could anyone help me?

    If you want to have a look at a generic multi-threaded server, check out the Java networking tutorial.. there's a basic example server that responds to a "Knock knock, who's there?" conversation.. you can start off with it..
    Of course it's not a game server but you could try sticking in a game engine to maintain the game world and change the user sessions to a proper game protocol.. e.g. sending key strokes or joystick movements. You could also get the server to send player and enemy positions etc...
    Good luck!

  • RTMFP: Multiplayer games

    Hi.
    I have a lot of flash games and was always told that for multiplayer you needed to use things like smartfox server and other software.
    I have just read about the RTMFP which was introduced in 10.0 and updated in 10.1 - does this mean that programming multiplayer has just got easy or have I misread the article.

    RTMFP means that you are capable of building P2P multiplayer flash games that can be low-latency enough for realtime multiplayer games.
    You'll still need to use a central RTMFP rendevous server like Cirrus, Flash Media Server, or the Open Source solutions (like Cumulus or ArcusNode) to establish the "handshake" that will allow clients to directly connect to each other over UDP and RTMFP.
    In terms of difficulty it can actually be slightly more difficult just in the sense that you'll need to build some type of "lobby" service to matchmake players that want to create a game, also if you want to follow the P2P networking model that games like modern warfare uses you'll need some way to establish one of the RTMFP clients as the "host"/"server" so that you'll be able to run some type of consistent simulation (and possibly develop a fallback system in case the "host" drops and you need to promote another peer to be the host).
    In terms of costing less to get a multiplayer game up and running RTMFP potentially provides that because you won't require a central server to run the games through only to provide the initial matchmaking and RTMFP rendevous.

  • Can someone point in the right direction for how to make a multiplayer game over the internet

    Hello,
    I am looking into making a game where two people who can be in different places would log on to the app, log in and can play - i.e. they would be connected over the internet. I'm looking for a hint on what is the direction to take and which technologies.
    For example is there a best practice for example if you make an app with DirectX and C++, and you use some kind of web service or something? or is it easier using C# and XNA? just looking for some pointers in the right direction. I have played around
    with DirectX, far from proficient but have familiarity, I have no experience with XNA but hear it's less hardcore and easier going. I'm particularly interested in what the best way to connect over the internet.
    Thanks

    What you are asking is very complicated and one of the more difficult things you can do in gaming. I'd strongly recommend you start smaller to learn and then move up to multi-player games as your skills grow.
    From the multiplayer client perspective it doesn't really matter which technology you use. You can write a multiplayer game in any engine or technology that can talk to the network. Choose the client technology that you are most adept at and interested in
    and learn it. You can go straight to DX, use a third party library such as Monogame (XNA isn't supported for Windows Store apps), or a complete game engine such as Unity. Once you can write a decent one-player game you'll have the foundation to start on to
    build a two-player game.
    At that point you'll need to define the problem much more specifically. As you state it, it is really wide open. How do you want the users to connect? Directly machine to machine? Matched through a web server but running client side? Connecting to a game
    running on a remote server? Something else?
    The network connection itself is probably fairly straightforward, but where to connect and how to manage that can be difficult. You'll have to decide what properties you want. Is this an action game where responsiveness is important or
    a turn based game where timing is less relevant?
    Are the players connecting locally or completely remotely? If the former then they can probably connect directly over the local network (NFC is great here). If the latter then they probably will need to connect to a matchmaker service to avoid firewalls.
    This can get very complex, but there are existing solutions you can use rather than writing your own.

  • Multiplayer game, different rooms.

    I am in the midst of coding a multiplayer card game. Right now, to make things simple, I limit myself to code for 3 players for one room. The clients call functions in the server and vice versa. Functions such as player's turn, shuffling cards, etc.
    So what happens if there's more than 1 room? Won't the data from the different rooms get mixed up with one another in the server side, since everything will be happening in just 1 server and on the same function?
    I am abit confuse on this part. Can someone enlighten me on how different rooms work in a multiplayer game? How do I make sure the data don't get messed up?

    wether you code it by adding a parameter in your function calls to tell wich room is concerned, wether you use different instances of the same application. each room access will use different urls (but you can link them to a common entry point where you relocate players when they start a game).
    check the FMS documentation about this subject, that might saves you loads of programming.

  • How to create a multiplayer game for steam using flash/flex?

    Hi guys,
    We've got a multiplayer game ready to go. Currently it is not multiplayer, but we'd like to get it to a stage where it can be played over the steam network by users of steam and owners of steam games.
    We'd like to if anyone could briefly give us a breakdown of how to get out game up on steam and available for multiplayer?
    Does steam host servers, and can we utilise a steam server to transfer data between players or would we have to run our own server?
    Currently were using flash builder to publish via adobe air to a windows desktop exe. Can anyone briefly explain how - once a player has downloaded the game from steam we can connect two players? Does anyone know how to use actionscript 3 to access steam network?
    Anyone have any experience developing multiplayer turn based game for steam using flash /actionscript 3 /adobe air?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    i

    You would want to use the SteamWorks API, which is available from Steam as a C++ library, but there is most likely an Adobe Native Extension (ANE) that would allow you to use the library in AS3.
    I've never used SteamWorks but it seems to support peer-2-peer matchmaking (in other words, you wouldn't even need your own server, I think.)

  • A web site that I use daily has disappeard from my "Most Visited" list. In spite of my continued use of the site plus deletion of other sites that I seldom use, thus making room on the list for the site I want to be listed there, it doesn't.

    A bookmarked web site for weather that I use daily - often more than once a day - has disappeared from my Most Visited list. In spite of my continued use of the site for a week now, plus deleting other sites that I seldom use that have started showing up on the Most Visited list, thus making room on the list for the weather site, it still doesn't reappear there. I have to open Bookmarks to access the weather site. So the site is still there, but not on the Most Visited list. I tried removing and re-entering the site in Bookmarks, but that didn't solve the Most Visited list problem. Thanks for your help.

    Your browser has been hijacked. You can test it by going to any search site besides scroogle and looking up antivirus, malware removal, or any other term like that. It will show you the results but you wont be able to go to any of those pages. In my opinion this is the worst kind of virus because it is so hard to get rid of. You'll remove it and it will self replicate and you'll have it again. Scroogle works because it acts as a proxy between you and the search site google. Follow that guys directions who replied before me. When that doesn't work try to get a copy of Stopzilla antivirus. I had my browser hijacked once and that got rid of it. If that doesnt work, download the Comodo web browser. They give away a month of free Geekbuddy assistance with their browser. Use it. Chances are you will have to contact an IT proffesional of some sort anyway. But you'll never feel really clean again and you'll become paranoid about using the web and you'll get every popup blocker and java script stopper there is. But that still won't be enough and you'll dump windows altogether becuase there just are'nt that many viruses that work on Linux.... oh wait.. that was me...
