SSAM3 Project Planning

Study

At present two scripts are being developed for the game. The first is a Java socket script which was downloaded from GotoAndPlay.it. The script from their site is basic and only supports maximum of two players which is not very good for an internet game. The author is currently trying but having problems changing the script to make it multi-threaded in order to have multiple sets of two players. See the original script below:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class simpleServer
{

public static void main(String args[])
  {
	// Message terminator
	char EOF = (char)0x00;

try
	{
	  // create a serverSocket connection on port 9999
	  ServerSocket s = new ServerSocket(9999);
          System.out.println("Server started. Waiting for connections ...");

// wait for incoming connections
          Socket incoming = s.accept();

BufferedReader data_in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(incoming.getInputStream()));

PrintWriter data_out = new PrintWriter(incoming.getOutputStream());

data_out.println("Welcome! type EXIT to quit." + EOF);
	 data_out.flush();

boolean quit = false;

// Waits for the EXIT command
	 while (!quit)
         {
            String msg = data_in.readLine();

if (msg == null) quit = true;

if (!msg.trim().equals("EXIT"))
	    {
		data_out.println("You sayed: <b>" + msg.trim() + "</b>" + EOF);
	        data_out.flush();
	     }
	     else
	     {
	         quit = true;
	     }
	 }
       }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
	 System.out.println("Connection lost");
      }
   }

}

The other script that is being developed is an ActionScript for controlling the game characters via the keyboard arrow keys (collision detect in the process of being added) see below:
