realtime multiplayer server

[Henxon]

Hello

I am developing a multiplayer space fighter game, where some spaceships are flying around shooting eachother. Since this will require data to be streamed continiously between all the players, will multiplayer servers such as Smartfox or Electro Server be able to handle this? I have only come across examples of puzzles and other turn based games, but the frames per second isn't as crucial for those games...

Any help would be appreciated!

It depends on the servers AND clients, design it right and you won't have to worry about the clients. But the server needs to be good. Smartfox is the easiest one to use for me but you need a good server were you have access to the "sockets" (i think, i dunno, some help :s:?)

I second what dan said. I use smartfox myself and find it running fine with my applications. But then I have only done chatrooms.
