I have a reasonable handle on how to program an online capable game, but have no idea on how to create one that can go on constantly so that there could be an actual world for users to log on to. If any one knows of a good tutorial on this subject, where you don't have to be a brain child to understand it, it would be greatly appreciated and noted in the credits of the finished game. Thank you. n/a

You only need to make your own server when you make a game where you need to save. Because otherwise you have to have the save files on your comp, and eventually they'll be hacked like a tree. If its a game where you don't need to save, use one of the moo servers on www.3ee.com -Andy Creator of Faerie Solitaire: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7792 Also creator of ZDay20 and Dungeon Dash. http://www.Jigxor.com http://twitter.com/JigxorAndy
