Pilots required

[John Craig]

All the clients can do is request a change of heading, target speed, 
fire, refuel, shield, etc.  The server validates the requests, detects 
collisions, updates co-ordinates, etc. then sends the data to each 
client.  The communication is all via UDP sockets.  It's only been 
tested with a few people playing, so I'm not sure what it's limitations 
are yet - maybe I need to set up a bot that can connect and play then 
start several bot instances..

The current client stack is available at

Feel free to have a poke at the code  :D

> Most impressive.  Would you reveal more about the architecture of the game?  I am curious about your server/client implementation.  Are the clients reporting their positions to the server and the server redistributes the data to the other clients?  Or are the positions coming from the server and the clients are displaying those positions?  This is all very interesting.

>> Thanks, Mark.  LiveCode is continuing to impress me with with each addition the team makes.  This game is running from a server - we are both connected remotely and I had to turn the speed down a few notches after the latest tweak - it was just too fast to play sensibly!  I'm really looking forward to the new sprite layer mode and physics engine - so many possibilites  :D
