Internet Based Games

[LucaUWF]

Excuse my ignorance here, but Internet applications are not my forte and I have never ventured over to them at all. I’m sure most of you are familiar with Yahoo, and perhaps the fact that it hosts games such as Chess over the Internet. What I’d like to know is how this is done, in a nutshell, as I may turn my hands to it in the distant future.

Do a search for "winsock"

Whoever made those games used Java, or some other inet langauge. If u really want u can do it in vb by exporting to an activex control, but ull still need javascript

[Fox]

Ah he meant those small games.. sorry misunderstood..

Hey Mushroom Realm, can you explain how I'd do that? After exporting the project, how does the control get onto the users computer?

[Mushroom Realm]

When they load the site their comp will download it. The problem is using it. U have to load it (just like any control) through javascript (vbscript, jscript, whatever). Each language has its own loading code. I think ive got some easy to understand code lying around somewhere, let me find it. Ill post back when i do.

hmmm, maybe i dont. Well, run a search on Codehound they should have it

Ok shouldn't be a problem, I'd prefer a short JavaScript implementation using the ClassID.. well think this'll work, thanks.
