MSN6 Games.... Flash multiplayer!

[Ron Selling]

Has anybody already played the new MSN 6 games? They're made in Flash and they're even multiplayer games, altough not reatime bu turnbases. How did they do this?

[vesa kortelainen]

please be more spefic, what u mean by MSN6 ? Messenger or what?

[ev]

turnbased multiplayer games could be built on any number of server solutions, from simply storing and retrieving the data from a database, or having a persistant connection through sockets or fcs.

I'm obviously talking about Messenger 6, .

Does anybody know detailed information about the system, protocol or language they used to made this?

[vesa kortelainen]

coz it's MS, it's running on windows 2003 and .NET framework.

That sounds logical, but it's only the core or did I miss a brilliant Flash .NET solution? I presume they made their own socket server.

[vesa kortelainen]

yeah, they have their own solutions..well.. it's PRO anyways, they are developers of Framework, why not they can't do something like this (msn6 multiplayer games).

so many questions..

if they made a socket server, they probably made a massive server in C++ that services all their games and all their users.
