Adobe AIR game center multiplayer

We have just released a GameKit ANE that includes support for both turn-based and real-time Game Center matches.  For turn-based matches specifically, you listen to three important events, and make one call each to advance turn, assign match outcome, and end game.

This ANE also provides a low-level API to the FULL native GameKit framework if you need more advanced functionalities.  That's right, the COMPLETE native GameKit framework with all the GK classes, properties, methods, delegates, and callback functions!

Check it out at https://airextensions.net/shop/extensions/game-kit-by-vitapoly/, and please let us know any comments or questions.

Thanks,

The GameCenter ANE does have multiplayer support. However it does not support turn-by-turn matches yet.

No, turn-by-turn matches aren't a necessity for multiplayer games.

You can implement a multiplayer match using the following methods of GameCenterController:

1. showMatchmakerView / startMatch : to start a match with / without the native UI

2. startMatchVoiceChannel : to start voice chat

3. sendMatchData : to send data to all or a few players

4. requestMatchPlayers : to request all the player objects participating in the current match

5. stopMatchVoiceChannel : to stop voice chat

6. endMatch : to finish a match

The controller object also disptaches the following events which are useful for multiplayer matches:

matchCancelled, matchDataReceived, matchFailed, matchPlayerConnected, matchPlayerDisconnected, matchPlayersFailed, matchPlayersLoaded, matchStarted, matchVoiceFailed, sendMatchDataFailed, sendMatchDataSucceeded
