Judjing by your joined date, I suspect that you haven't been a DB user for very long. I would not reccoment a multiplayer game as a first project.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good multiplayer game. I know how to use winsock, but i've been told that winsock isnt good for sending large amounts of data for extended periods of time (hence if I had a player up 24/7 for a couple of months with 256 players).

typos...

Here`s a quick game I made. It took me about 4 hours:
This program shows how to split the screen to make 3 players play at once.

http://www.mediafire.com/?14y4l7xfyxb

I recommend you click 3 Players.

Control player 1:
upkey:forwards
downkey:backwards
leftkey:turn left
rightkey:turn right
spacekey:shoot

Control player 2
right mouseclick:forwards
move mouse down:backwards
move mouse left:turn left
move mouse right:turn right
left mouseclick:shoot

Control player 3
joy up:forwards
joy down:backwards
joy left:turn left
joy right:turn right
any fire button on joystick:shoot


Troubleshooting:
If you have Darkbasic 1.13, you`re fine with this program
If you have any later version of darkbasic, you have to do some adjustments:

find the command "gosub view1"
put a "sync" after it

find the command "if players>1 then gosub view2"
put a "sync" after it

find the command "if players>2 then gosub view3"
put a sync after it

find the command "if players=1 then sync"
replace that line with "sync"


Now your program should work.

Oooooops!!! I accidentally formated drive c.

Hi TheComet,

thats an interesting method! I have seen joystick spliter cables where your able to split to 2 joystick(maybe now USB) so you could get 4 players.

nice

thanks Mark

2ip.com is AWESOME! I'm making a temporary website for a RPG I might make in the future!

Seriously, how do you make the little blue text come up below your message?
