I'm trying to achieve a friends list. The idea is you create your own username/password and you can play online matches with other people around the world. I want to create a "friends list" so you can enter their name in an edit box and it'll transfer to a list object, which will show all of your friends. Then I want it to somehow show you if that person is online or not... Do you have a idea how that would work?
I was thinking of somehow registering your username to a list online, and that can compare to see if that name isn't already taken...Then I'll check to see if that person is online or not. But I don't have a clue at all.
you can use a text file an ini an array or any other external file storage to keep track of a clients list on their end.
youre going to have to get into learning some online coding as you will need to use the MOO API (unsupported current online extensions) or OINC (upcoming online extension for mmf2. its still in alpha or beta atm though) to connect to a php page and do some magic with a database for having registered accounts.
now to actually show if a person is online or not, youre gonna needs a server hosting your server app. a person has to actually be connected to something for you to actually retreive if they are online.
