  I am so sorry to hear about your car! You weren't hurt, were you?

  Thankfully, no, but it is not how I wanted to spend my savings while developing this game...

  Sessions can be hijacked if the session ID is not cryptographically secure. Just FYI.

  Yea, I just found the WebSocket plugin, so I will begin tinkering with this now. I had built a Tomcat WebSocket server in Java earlier, but I didn't have a client to connect to it until now.

  The Multiplayer object was never really an option for us because our game state is maintained on our servers then the clients just ask for updates.

  Yup, this is still the same Construct 2 engine. I'm not sure what Spine is though. It could be something useful. What is it?

  It is a 3D-to-2D emulator that builds spritesheets using 3D models.

  Oops, sorry for the super late reply. I overloaded my feed thing.

  http://www.gameanalytics.com/docs/rest-api -- you have to sign in to see their API, then you can use the AJAX object to build GET/POST calls to use their API and responses.

  The Array object is naturally a 3D array, so you can access any point in the C2 Array by calling Array,At(x, y, z).

  To import the data, you simply feed that string into Array.Load (From JSON) method.

  NOTE: If you are feeding the string directly into C2 (i.e. typing it into the Json box yourself), then you need to escape all of the internal quotation marks with double quotation marks, like "".

  Pode's iFrame! Or rather just iFrames in general, since you are importing into an existing non-C2 website. Basically, you just have an iFrame element in your blog and link it to your game. Just make sure that your game is running on the same domain, otherwise browser security will undo you.

  Omg, they added a web socket wrapper, yay! Thanks Ashley!

  And to answer your question, yes, every client should have an independent ID managed by the signalling server (I think). Once I have a working test client, I will be able to answer your other questions.

  You can use a Loader Layout to do this possibly.

  Maybe try using "if 8 direction is moving > do stuff -- Else > set animation to idle"?

  Look up databases and PHP.

  Start by ensuring that your file permissions in Linux are correct (or Windows). Make sure that the php files belong to the root or admin user and are permissioned only for read & execute access by your Apache HTTPD user.

  Other than that, I don't know how dextrous you are with server-side networking, but you can use proxy systems to limit access to your files.

  You could go even further and have intrusion prevention systems and firewalls on various levels of proxy servers.

  I would look at using rexrainbow 's SquareTx and Board plugins.

  You should be able to right-click and choose > "Open With".

  I typically use Notepad or Wordpad to open appmanifest files.
