Hello Everybody
Im going to develop a multiplayer game. I will use a servlet and an applet
on the client side. I see two possible ways to mantain the contact between
the clients and the server:
By an http connection
By a not-http connection, eg sockets
I think that the big disadvantage in using a connection that relies on http
is that the application, on both sides but principally on the sever, becomes
very complex. However the advantage with this approach is that you dont need
to have your own server to set up the multiplayer platform.
It would be much easier to program a server that is a standalone java
aplication listening on some port, or a servlet even this listening on a
port. But here the problem is that you need total access to the server,
which is much more expensive.
Does anyone have any suggestion about this problem? If there is another way,
maybe? Or if its actually too complex to develop a multiplayer without
docket programming? Or maybe that the http approach isnt so bad? Thanks in
advance.

Bear in mind the one problem you're going to be having is real-time data
over HTTP. Because HTTP is a request-response protocol by default, your
client will be required to continually request data from the server -
the server won't be able to PUSH data to the client.
This may or may not be an issue for you. I just now that a few years
back when I worked on a real-time stock market trading system, the lag
for users on dial-up made the system very slow, and ultimately useless
in a real-time context.

Hi,
I am developing a simple multiplayer game in VS 2005 using C#.
Each player would have an individual copy of the game running, which
would connect to a server. The app running on the server would
continuously listen on a specific port for the players and when the two
players are connected, the server would transmit information from one
player to the other.

I do not know PHP, consider to write a CGI with this technology and
have the following question.
Is it possible to invoke a PHP script and let it endlessly wait for
requests from a website (a Java applet in my case) and serve the
requests when they arrive? I want to avoid loading the script for each
request.
In other words, can it function, in this sense, like a Java servlet?
