ooo! I actually have a friend who majored in networking, I'll definitely ask him for him for help but for the time being where would I start? It's been years since I've touched Java and C++ (I'm in school for Fitness and Health Promotion now so it's pretty much the opposite end of all this hahaha)

My understanding so far is that I'd use the SDK and import the networking library, is this correct?

I notice there's been a lot of requests for this lately, and frankly I'm not too terribly interested in it, especially since I don't have a server to test things out. So that makes me wonder how many people here already have a server ready to test things on?

Is a server absolutely necessary? What about connecting to another computer instead?

I'm hoping most of it is simply tedious work; in which case, I wouldn't mind dogging away at it.

Click on the "Properties" link beside "Application" in the layout properties pane on the right and scroll to the bottom under controls.

Hope that helps

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm fairly certain most, if not all, are on the same page as me when I say that I really want a network/online plugin.

I've taken computer science classes in high school and in university but only at the introduction level so it's not much to work with but it's something.

Right now, I'm in pain from having both wisdom teeth removed from my lower jaw but also curious as to what goes into making a networking plugin and what it consists of?

I'm hoping to get a discussion flowing where anyone can contribute to the actual development of a networking plugin instead of waiting around for one to be developed.

Hopefully this discussion will also help teach people how to create plugins. (Although a guide probably already exists, I can no longer recall)

At the same time, I DO recall that someone was working on a networking plugin. If you are still working on it, care to pitch in or let us know how we can help out?

Let's get some motivation flying!!

> sooo ... when is this going to become a plug in? =P

It is Python. It cannot be made into a plugin like this.

Never doubt, just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it can't be!

Plus, I do know that it's Python, I was just making a joke ... thanks for ruining it. haha

sooo ... when is this going to become a plug in? =P

Great tutorial by the way. I haven't read through it in detail but the proof speaks for itself!

mmm definitely interested in how this was accomploshed!

with regards to deciding to go with 0-based or 1-based indexes, why not use an initial setup that asks users which they would be more comfortable with and use a short description like, "Choosing 0-based indexes will start counting at 0" and "Choosing 1-based indexes will start counting at 1" but this would only affect what the user sees but under the hood it's really 0-based indexes?

too complicated? it's starting to sound like it ... i prefer 0-based indexes by the way! =P

other things i'm interested in as well:

• online plugin!
• splitscreen!
• better sprite/animation editor!

Construct is the best at what it does in my opinion but there's still so much more it could do, just a matter of time.

i got really excited when i saw the word canada at the beginning

i think this would help those who are weaker with their math skills but are strong visual learners to be able to see a visual organization

old dragonball fighting games had a split screen effect for large levels

but now we finally know how to achieve the same effect in construct!! whoo-hoo!!

how about naming it a "General Public Release" or some variation of that?
