multiplayer game

well....
i used 1 sharedobject per car.
but then i encounter a problem, that was some cars disappear

i solved the problem using so.setFPS( )

thanks for your help

any advice about this ???

hi, i want an advice.
i will have 20 cars, in the game.
in your example i see you generate 2 sharedobjects.
i think i will generate the sharedobject in the server (just thinking)

i need to have _x and _y of the car.

what do you think is better, to have an object (the car) with his x and y position, every car in 1 sharedobject

or to have one big array of object ???

hope you can help me with this.

thanks

thanks man...
your sample makes me an idea on how to work with this.. now i have my game running...
i have 20 opponents racing a track at same time..
now i have another big problem that i dont imagine how to resolve.

i need a list of position of the players, the player in first place is : the second place : and so on...

the game is something similar to: http://www.miniclip.com/games/rural-racer/es/

lets say is the same view of the track, but the track is biger, how can i know in which place are all players ???

thanks man, i will check the xample you send me.
thanks a lot

the game i want to develop with FMS, is a multiplayer game in which is a car racing.
game, where people ran arround a track and i want to have a list of in which place they are and other people can log only to see the race.

hope someone give me some ideas

We don't really have enough info on your game to help you.

But the basic concept of multiplayer is the following :

-Server centralizes all information on all players at all times
-Players regularily send info about their status
-Server regularily send status info received to all others players.

Then, to optimize ressources, status updates should be as rare as possible.
An example : instead of transmitting the car's position all the time, you could just transmit when a player turns left or turns right, and the game can update itself on the clients side thanks to this.
Position is only sent sometimes to make sure the status calculated this way matches the real one.
This method is called "dead reckoning", wikipedia has a nice article about it.

Good luck, multiplayer is always very though to code.
