ajax online game, gm7

Posted by kevboh on Feb. 28, 2007, 12:25 p.m.

Hey everyone!

So I don't really update with my life often, so here are some things:

First, about a week ago I began building a framework for online ajax games. Currently I'm applying it to reversi, so when I've finished a user will be able to create an account and play others in reversi, while keeping a win/loss/tie/quit record and chatting with other players. I'm also adding in features like the ability to directly challenge players (like a friend) or being able to place yourself in a "queue," which will automatically match you up with another player.

People just chilling on the main splash page will be able to start games, talk with everyone on the site, and view the progress of other games. The beauty of it all is that it's all done with a total of one page refresh, and that eventually I could apply this system to any game that's simple enough to warrant a javascript-only logic base.

Second, I downloaded gm7. It looks exactly the same as gm6, except there's a big "YOYO GAMES" logo on the bottom. Blech.

Third, I might be taking over the editing and redesigning of a 30,000 hits a week site. More details on that later.

Fourth, I have to go read and write a quick essay before my grueling 2.5 hour class (5-7:30pm) on Vietnam. Delicious.

P.S. I want to start getting ideas for modules for v3 together, so comment here or PM with good material.

Sorry about your class… Someone else will post a module.

GM7 is just like GM6, but with extensions. I don't like the YYG logo, but I think I may have some fun with GM7's new features. I hate how YYG is the registration site now. As for modules…well, I can't think of any yet.

I know. Give 'em a ColumnsX badge for 3X combo.

If I make one, give me a 4X badge.

OMG! Game Maker is now licensed to YoYo Games?!

Yeah…say goodbye to Mark, then. He's joined…the yoyo side.

Maybe not…oh, well.

I guess I can't get a 4X combo badge, someone got in before me…

For Christ's sake… Mark did not join YoYo Games, he is YoYo Games. It's not like he's no longer in charge of his own project.
