Nice! I'm in the latter stages ( or so I say ) of development of a massive multiplayer game that is distributed via an Applet.
I have been wondering about using TCP/IP for all data transmission from client to server and vice versa, but there may be problems with people who are playing the game in an applet. Also, applets can only connect to the domain that served the page using TCP/IP. But using HTTP as a transport would hopefully bypass those two problems. And that would be awesome! :-D Kevin On 8/27/07, Jeff Genender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Kevin Smeltzer wrote: > > Is this a project for doing transfer through HTTP using Mina?
