Wazah! I just finished coding the basic module of a flashcom server with php. I would really like to make something multiplayer in Flash that would utilize this virtual socket server.

So far, i got

classic 2 player board game?
rpg in an arena?
Something new?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :}

Great Idea! I always enjoy the multiplayer games. Um, i was thinking of a tank game where u can drive around blasting ur opponet? strategic walls may be put in place, and u can turn the turret on you tank? boosts and power ups? i dont know, but they are my best suggestions.

Make two player pacman games, and any other classic arcade that you could find. Or you could make the best game of all, tic tac toe.

Have fun with flashcom. I neever got into it, so I didn't bother making multiplayer games.

Thanks for the suggestions Firemelon and EternalStudios. Yeah something classic, but modified would be neat.

It's not flashcom. I built a socket server with php that acts the same as flashcom.

Yeah, something classic. I personally have always wanted to play, or thought it would be cool to play 2 player space invaders. Have you ever heard of a game called Jetpak MTSoul?

I haven't heard of Jetpak.

Just so you know, the server is capable of more than 20 connections at the same time. More intense stuff is also avaible.

Then try and make something really big and incredible. Like, make a 3d world, a small one to start, and allow other people to log into it and walk around, and when they are next to someone, they could chat with them and stuff. Kinda like the one that jarez_z made with his footer. Try it. If you want, you could use my character engine, once it's done.

But try and take the old classics and remake them into massively multiplayer and stuff. Like, the invaders, if there are more than one player playing with them, then there are more enemies and they are harder to beat or something. Improvise. If you know how to make multiplayer stuff, then the net is your sketch book.

make the the first Multiplayer RTS in flash. (wow that would be hard).
I like the tank one.

new idea... Make a PlanetSide like game except 2d from the top. That could be sweet.

how do you create a multiplayer server thing? I'd really be interested in learning how to create one. Try an rpg game but if you want to try something to see if it works i'd say make a simple two player fighting game =) orrr you can do two player tetris
