[google-appengine] Re: AS3 GAE communication
hi, thanks for the reply .. actually i have just figured out the major source of the problem .. i just keep sending too many requests to the server .. since this is a simple multiplayer arcade game .. both clients should inform the server of their locations and get a response from it about the position of the other player .. this however, made me keep sending requests to the server containing information about my x&y coordinates and therefore listening for the response of the server which should contain the x&y of the other player or at least a default value .. i figured out that when i slow down the rate by which i (the flash client) is sending requests to the server .. the server becomes able to respond and flash could retrieve the values of the position of the other player in order to render them .. still, the maximum rate of sending requests that allows the server to respond in semi-realtime does not allow me to build a seamless multiplayer arcade gameplay which made me doubtful that there must be something that i have missed .. Plus, i was wondering about the capabilities of GAE to support multiple games played simultaneously .. i don't even know is that a problem with the bandwidth allowed on appspot or what exactly .. afterall, i am wondering about the options of space/bandwidth ..etc that GAE provides to a developer who wants to publish his game online .. regards, A.

[google-appengine] AS3 GAE communication
Hi all, I am writing an online multiplayer game "the client side is being implemented using Flash ActionScript 3" .. at this point of development i want to keep sending packets back and forth between the flash client and the server which i wrote using the java SDK for GAE .. the problem is: for the sake of clarity here's a psudo code of this part: client: 1. send var: x 2. receive var: Ox Server: 1. receive var: x 2. make it presistent i.e. "store it in the JDO" 3. send back var: Ox . any help or ideas ..?? regards, A.
