You will need a server of some kind of course. I would hit www.gotoandplay.it
They have a free version of their java server that you can download and mess around with called the SmartFoxServer. I would also look at the ElectroTank website. They have a nice java server as well and a lot of tutorials and helpful forums.

Unable to play online multiplayer games!?

Whenever I go to play Town of Salem (online multiplayer game) or even any other gaming websites, it takes me to a page stating that I need to update my Flash Player to a version 11.9? or higher even though (triple checking regularly) my flash player is on version 17.1.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my flash player 4 times now and it still doesn't work and my Firefox is up to date too. Not too sure whether it is a problem on my side or just the flash player doesn't like playing games on my laptop anymore.
If it helps, I have another laptop (different brand) that has updated flash player and it plays games really smoothly.

Manufacturer: Acer
Model: Aspire 5253G
Processor: AMD E-350
Processor 1.60 GHz
Installed memory RAM: 4.00GB (3.73 GB usable)
System Typer: 64-bit Operating System
Flash Player Version: 17.0.0.169
Your OS: Windows 7 (64bit)
Your Browser: Mozilla Firefox, 37.0.2 (latest update)
My sister has also told me she had a very similar problem only that it was facebook games that weren't working. She fixed the problem by switching some option "on" that was turned off by someone else.

Online Multiplayer Games

I know how to make simple single player java applets...
but how do I make online multiplayer games?
Is there a specific API or something? Where can I get some tutorials?
Thanks.

In my opinion, anyone wanting to get into game network programming should start here:

it may not apply fully to java network programming, but this faq might bring some very important key concepts to your attention that you had no clue existed.

Flash issue's with online multiplayer game's

I play alot of online multiplayer game's, i spend thousand's of dollars a year in playing, I update my computer everytime something new come's out. This is the first time i found a game flash based i wasn't to impressed with, Game i am talking about is wartune.com. when u aint around alot of people its fine, minute u get around alot of people it slows down. i have tried diffrent brower's and also diffrent settings as recommended on ur site. What i would like to see is flash be more friendly to less lag cause by flash, or even frames per second option available so a user can see what is going on. When flash aint lagged down it work's great, but need some more settings to boost the performance of it, Hardware acceleration almost does minnunim to nothing, i have 32 gigs of ram, duel processor's, duel video card's. my system is very welll mainted as i don't do much but gaming on it. Give us some options to improve the respones time with flash, or even let use use are video cards more effecicantly with flash, Also just a not some complain the high useage of memory during online gaming have to refresh webpage alot to speed back up, Speaking to gaming sites doesnt seem to help, Only way i truely believe they will change is when they have to change, So im coming to u as a customer of alot of flash stuff, force them to do something, do ur 12.0 flash update with some added fetures for use gamers, give us a option to speed up are flash, I will state that theres other programs out there that when ran with flash it make's it go super smooth, but ur not allowed to run second programs during gaming, but if it smooths it out tremdously maybe that be something for u to look into? Any question's feel free to msg me back.

You can buy top PC but this will not fix issues that made game developer. Yes, game developer. Not Flash Player developer. First of all you need to ping your game server.
On PC in Windows you need to run in cmd this string: ping wartune.com but this is may not show real IP of game servers. I can't enter to wartune because there is error 404 - page don't found. So you need to know their servers IP and try to ping them. All ping that shows more 50ms will cause a lags. Ping it's timeframe for delivery data between your PC internet and wartune sever.
PS. my ping showed 192ms. So if game have the same server as hosted web site - I must see lags due big ping.

Satellite internet users cannot connect to Flash based online multiplayer games

Hello,
I have found that Satellite internet users are unable to
connect to the game Club Penguin because of the recent security
fixes that have been added to the flash player over the last 6
months or so. Club Penguin used to require at least Flash Player 7
to run, at this time satellite users could connect.
They recently upgraded their system to require Flash player 9
or higher, since this update no satellite users can connect if they
have the newest versions of Flash. If they revert back to the Flash
Player 9r47 they can then connect to the game. Of coarse this opens
the computer up to the exploits that have been fixed.
Anyone have any idea of how to notify Adobe of this issue? Or
possibly another way to make it work with the newest versions of
Flash Player?

Does this problem with your Internet satellite happen only with this game? You might want to contact your Internet provider as I'm sure they will be able to work with Adobe in fixing the problem.

Yosemite performance bug for various online multiplayer games.

Since I upgraded the new OS X YOSEMITE, i've been having problems that i've never gotten before. I usually play DotA 2 in an excellent performance and my FPS would be fine, but since the new update(YOSEMITE) there is a few problems that i have to face.
1.The game keeps on dropping FPS
2.Crashes on random moments but most likely at team fights.
3.Audio bug that can go through apps like Skype.
-It will make a laggy sound and it will effect the mic to become an echo.
4.None of the community seems to take this as a serious matter.
Can anyone at least tell me how to reduce the amount of lag? Or Can the staff fix this problem? I have not played DotA 2 for days because of this.

Online Multiplayer Table Game Framework

I'm another person who is considering creating an online multiplayer java based game with a collection of different tables to which users can connect. This would be similar to the yahoo games or any of the online poker games.
Does anyone know of a java framework for creating the server part for these types of games? I've looked but couldn't find any.

You will probably have to build it from scratch. I suggest reading the Networking section of the Java Tutorial - http://java.sun.com/tutorial .

[HELP] Online Multiplayer Quiz Game!

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to make online multiplayer quiz game.
With that I mean over the LAN network.
Like it use the bluetooth and you connect to it.
Like the quiz is to answer 0-20 on german and when you click check it will send the answer to the other phone. Like if my mom have it and says whats wrong and right you know. It would be neat if you did help me!
Thanks, Sander over here!
In ActionScript 3 to Air for IOS.

multiplayer games are for advanced programmers.
the easiest way to start multiplayer gaming with flash is it use adobe's rtmfp peer-to-peer connections. here's an excerpt from a book (Flash Game Development: In a Social, Mobile and 3D World) i wrote:
Multiplayer Games
With multiplayer games data needs to be communicated among the players. When a player makes a move (changing the game state) the updated game state needs to be communicated to all the other players. In addition, that communication needs to occur in a timely manner.
With turn based games (like card games) that communication among players can take as long as few seconds without degrading the game experience. With real time games (like shooter games), even a 250 millisecond delay in communicating game state leads to a significantly degraded player experience. Consequently, real time multiplayer games require substantial expertise to successfully develop and deploy.
There are two fundamentally different ways that communication among players can be accomplished. Players can communicate via a server (server based games) or they can communicate directly from player to player (peer-to-peer) games.
Server Based Multiplayer Games
Generally, the code in each player’s Flash game handles the player’s input, transmits player data to the server, receives other players' data and displays the game state. The server receives player data, validates the data, updates and maintains game state and transmits each player’s data to the other players.
The code used on the server cannot be ActionScript so you will need to learn a server-side coding language like php or c#. Server-side coding is beyond the scope of this book so I will not cover server based multiplayer games except to say you need to have advanced coding skills in, at least, two languages (ActionScript and a server-side language) to create these game types.
Peer-to-peer games
Since Flash player 10, you can create multiplayer games without the need of an intermediary server to facilitate player communication. The Flash player can use a protocol (Adobe's Real-Time Media Flow Protocol) that allows direct peer-to-peer communication.
Instead of using server-side code to handle the game logic and coordinate game state among players, each peer in the network handles their own game logic and game state and communicates that directly to their peers and each peer updates their game state based on the data received from others.
To use peer-to-peer networking each peer must connect with an Adobe server. Peer-to-peer communication does not go through that server (or it that would not be peer-to-peer) but peers must stay connected with the Adobe server in order to communicate with each other.
To communicate with the Adobe server you should use your own server URL and developer key. That URL and key can be obtained at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cirrus.

Multiplayer Game (JSP, Servlets)

I have been programming a Multiplayer game for about a year now.
It is simmilar to the popular Tower Defense games but I can't give you all the details.
Would anyone be able to refer me to some examples that include
Login features (connecting to a database or something)
two players play a simple game, or chat or something, just to get me started.
Thanks!

A multiplayer TD game? Sounds interesting. Are you planning on sending the game communication through a server, or direct connect to the other player? Are you looking for a Yahoo style setup when you join a chatroom and play from there?
There is a program on SourceForge.net called JOGRE (Java Online Gaming Realtime Engine). It appears to have many of the features that you would expect on Yahoo, but their demo server is not running, so I could not try it out. It may be what you are looking for. The network communication is all in XML though, I wonder if XML is too network intensive for a multiplayer TD game...

Multiplayer Games

I've been really impressed with the amount of applications so far, but I have one question - Are there any multiplayer games?
My roommate and I both have an iPhone, but I would really like a game which was playable online, rather than on a Wifi LAN.
Any suggestions?

Sorry its wifi no online games try a nintendo DS

Multiplayer Games - how far off?

With every WebOS device being required to have a madatory data plan to go with it - it seems like online multiplayer gaming is a given considering we all have internet access.
I have been playing Project INF on Android (24 player real-time online battles - think of a command and conquer where you control one character in a diablo-type of overhead view where every character on the battlefield is controlled by a live human on another Android device) and it proves that online gaming is possible over cell phones.. and with Palm recently introducing 3d games to the mix (one of the main reasons I came to WebOS - that, and the OTA updates) it'd be great to see Palm offer some kind of incentives for developers to consider adding multiplayer portions to their games.
Imagine playing Aspalt 5 online against other players.
At this point though, I'd be happy with just a basic online chess or checkers program.

This would be a great addition to the gaming arena. I suggest that you leave feedback at www.palm.com/feedback

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.)

How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games locally

How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games with my family. Everyone is located in the same house and uses the same router.
I have tried a few games but have not successfully connected 2 players

That is a weird question, as your GAMES could be interpreted a hundred different ways. Are we talking about third party devices here or what?

AppleScript (or Automator?): How to search through online сhеss games?

Hello.
I would like to search for specific online сhеss games. Each game has a single adress. We are talking about millions of games. Obviously, it's far too long to index all the games. So I will set a limit and use the script at night. Conditions should be something like this:
For adress example.com/game=NumberA to example.com/game=NumberB
Search every web page containing SpecificWord
Store wanted web adresses somewhere (so I could see the games by myself during the day)
As you can see, I know nothing about Applescript and I don't know how to start, nor how the script can pick up adresses. I think it's possible and not difficult to code, just time consuming for the program to search through thousands of games.
Should I use AppleScript or Automator? Should the script open Safari (or Firefox if possible) or can it search without any browser? Is it possible to simultaneously search through multiple pages/adresses? Maybe I could write several scripts for different ranges of games? If so, how many pages can I open at once? For instance I could disable images in Firefox to load quicker. How much time does it need to search for one game? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds?
Any easy tutorials, examples of similar codes, advices, hints or tips are appreciated.

Thanks for answering. Sorry that I was so unclear. My main problem was how to get urls and games id as variables. But then I thought there already should be programs doing web crawling. I have found Scrapy which use Python language.
(Maybe I should edit my question, add Scrapy and Python as tags instead of applescript and automator. Is it possible?)
I have Mac OS 10.6.8, Python 2.6.1. Scrapy needs at least Python 2.7 so I have downloaded the last version of Python (3.3). I think I can handle the programming in Scrapy thanks to their tutorial. The most difficult part should be... how to install Scrapy. Don't laugh at me.
I have entered "sudo easy_install Scrapy" in the terminal. But the terminal still uses Python 2.6.1. Python 3.3 is installed but I don't know how to clean update Python. If anyone knows, feel free...
When I write scrapy in the terminal, here is what I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/scrapy", line 4, in <module>
    import pkg_resources
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 2556, in <module>
    working_set.require(__requires__)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 620, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 518, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req) # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: lxml
It seems Scrapy also needs something called lxml. Right now I am trying to make Python 3.3 the default python version. Is there a web crawler GUI which already includes Python, Scrapy, lxml?
By default I also have Python 2.4 and 2.5. Does the system need them? I prefer not to delete system files but together all Python versions weigh 500 MB.
In regard to the real example URL: let's say instantchess.com. Here's a game URL: http://www.instantchess.com/?EXP=1&GPI=84094532
84094532 is the game id. Let's say I want to search every Reti openings (thus the page must contain the word "Reti") from id 84000000 to 85000000 and store games id in my computer. If I have understood correctly, I need to search through the source code of the pages.
Feel free to add any remarks, suggestions, ideas.
