internet play

[savvy]

would there be some way to make a game play across the internet.EG:a fighting game where you can play against some dude in japan

There is only one way where you can play a game with another person on 2 different computers, those 2 computers must be on the same network, and the drive the game is on is mapped with the other computer. You use the save a load function continuously to simulate multilayer. Unless you have a network computer with a dude in Japan, there is no way that can happen.

The C language can connect to MYSQL server...I think this document help everybody:

But for the game editor is incorrect

yah, and that doesnt even work right...its jumpy and glitchy, ive tried it before.

you can have the game open up a webpage, using the OpenURL function, that webpage having constantly saving a file that GE reads per frame, that'd make for online

Make a variable
(PartnerX PartnerY, meh, meh)

The PHP website connects you to the partner and constantly saves the X and Y position of the connected peer, thus rendering per frame, the position on GE

Someone had this idea but i cant remember who o.o

The open url function isn't good becose it's open a new window/tab...
