  I made a quick demo comparing JavaScript ServerSide to ClientSide Speed:

  Client:

  Server:

  Sorry for asking many questions :)

  Just interested because I learn a lot of JS at the moment.

  And thanks for the answer ^^

  Schoening : yes, sort of. The count variable it would get massive if there is a massive amount of players joining. The count variable gets incremented only when a new player joins so that the server can assign a unique number to that player.

  The server script in the sample was not designed to be run forever. It works more like the old games: you would start the server part of the game every time you wanted to play a multiplayer game, let you friends know about the IP address of your game session and then close it when you were done with the match.

  It really helped me getting started on learning ServerSide JavaScript thank you very much !

  For my use I will probably try to find a way to reuse the array in places where a player has left.

  Like perhaps using This this, as a reference, and moving the players closer to 0 when some one leaves ^^

  But when I run the preview of the example capx, it doesn't connect.

  Tell us what going on. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Oh okay :)

  I though Ticks are Frame rate dependent, which is why we always type * dt

  How would that make a difference to all other games?

  So a single frame sprite object is more resource intensive than a same size tiled bg?

  I doubt it.

  This is about placing 100 Sprites or one Tiled background and the like.

  I found this one topic:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/losing-focus_topic57094.html

  I hope there is a different way, else I might as well start writing a plugin for it.

  To reduce packages send, I want to implement this code into my server:

  window.onblur = function()

  {

      server.send(PLAYER_AFK, connection);

  }

  window.onfocus = function()

  {

      server.send(PLAYER_NOT_AFK, connection);

  }

  But it would only work if Construct2 has Blur and Focus expressions.

  I could not find them...

  "This is why in the Performance Tips manual entry we note it can be significantly faster than using sprites."

  Ups. Did not see it.
