[Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?

Hi folks, Partly as something of an experiment, but mainly as a testbed and proof-of-concept for something else entirely, I'm looking at throwing together a (non-commercial) multi-user game with a Flash interface. It should be fairly straightforward wise - a simple grid-based interface not too

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?

the only one I have played with is ElectroServer, and I can recommend that one. It was easy to set up and get started working with. Afew people recommended oregano...i dont think red5 is that far along yet. On 3/22/06, Rich Rodecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 3/22/06, Ian Thomas <[EMAIL PRO

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?

Hi Ian, Another thing to note is that Red5 does give Flash access to anything you can do in Java. It is completely extensible. Things like accessing databases though Hibernate or straight JDBC, accessing non-java applications through JNI, bridging to other servers, etc... can all be done with a

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?

Hi, I should recommend you Oregano. I've ported the API to as2 and put several additions to it. That makes it a really nice tool to play with. All the benefits are that Oregano is more a framework than just XMLSocket for Flash. It uses a homemade serialisation/deserialisation scheme which ma

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?

Thanks all. I'll look a bit deeper into Electroserver, Red5 and Eric's version of Oregano, then. You're quite right that what I'm doing is experimental, Chris, so Red5 might well be suitable - besides, 'bleeding edge' always appeals. :-) Cheers, Ian _
