  • Well, we need another Java programmer, but we need him/her now. How much time can you devote to learning?

    In the future, I could see us using C#/C++ at which point you will be teaching me, lol. But this current project runs on Java servlets.

  • For starters, you need to change how the program UI works. It is confusing the way you have it now.

    Either 1) You let them click a color first, then click a spot for that color (which colors that area). Then the color needs to not change when you click another color.

    or

    2) You have them click an area (which you want to become "highlighted" somehow) then click a color. Then no more changes when that event is done.

    As it stands though, it is confusing to click areas and then have the color change after you have selected a color already. You need to event-ify your UI.

  • Are you still around? This post is very old.

  • Do you know or are willing to learn Java?

  • We need to start an open source project for a C2 centralized web socket plugin...

  • I tried to do that same thing and failed, because the C2 requires there to be a browser on the server to serve as the host "peer", since C2 Multiplayer is P2P architecture.

    So, long story short, it won't work. We are using AJAX now, until I have time to program a WebSocket plugin with a programmable API.

  • You need to post your URL as a plain text. Add extra spaces to break up the link.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • You need variables (probably global) or a global data object (array, hash map, dictionary, etc.) to track all of the kills, etc. Each sprite has a UID to identify individual sprite instances.

  • What is "pkt"?

  • There are tutorials. Google is helpful.

    You need a server, a web server software, a database, and some kind of programmatic container (PHP/Java servlet/Python, etc).

    Then you use AJAX to pass information back and forth using the HTTP specification, and have your container retrieve information from your database and process data as needed to reformat it.

  • What is the point of this game?

  • I am not sure if this is not a violation of their Terms Of Service. I would look into that first.

    If that is clear, then I would look at using the Google Spreadsheet in combination with a form. This would allow you to submit data to the spreadsheet, but I am not entirely clear on how you would retrieve said data, aside from picking apart the DOM.

    If you are just looking for a free server, use Amazon Web Services. They offer free virtual micro servers for one year. (then like $20/mo after)

  • Maybe try SpriteFonts?

  • If you want to move the sprite in stair steps, then you will need to break that motion up into it's constitutive parts, down first, then over, etc.
