online gaming

[gdesigner]

I need some help with this. Im in an advanced game design class and I have been challenged to create a network/online game. The parameters are to make a 2 player "game" where player one is a red block and player two is a blue block. Each block is controlled on a different computer, but the movements need to be visible on both computers. any tutorial or starting commands would be great.

Thanks,

This is a very very (keep wrting very a couple dozen more times) tricky part of software development.

I think people need to be expert users of Multimedia Fusion 2 making single player games before even attempting anything multi player online.

That being said

On the tutorial page is a run thru of a simple game using very old technology called MOO

If you are really planning to do something serious you would want to look into using Lacewing -- which you can find here on the forums in the extension area.

I have an above average knowledge of mmf2 and have downloaded lacewing I forgot to add that into the original thread post.That is the extension that I would like to use so if you can point me in the direction of a lacewing mmf2 basics tutorial or game design tutorial for lacewing that would be great.

Thanks Again
