Hi guys,
I am Rishabh, I can do anything with AS and I've made lot's of singleplayer games. I want to make multiplayer games and I love the way PlayerIO helps developers to do so. I've no idea how do I even make a multiplayer platformer game. I just need that game loads and a chat room opens, people join the game one by one and when there are enough players. the game starts and everyone gets a character and a name, it can move around with others and do anything they like. I just want to know actually how Can I make this. I am planning a Deathmatch game but I don't know how to do so. If I get a knowledge of a multiplayer platformer I can do a Unreal Tournament in FLASH easily. Thanks.

Or you can just tell me how to make something like this..

The url you linked to is actually part of a tutorial teaching you how to make just that game.

All you are going to get is advice, nobody around here will make the game for you

Right, I'm sorry but I don't think anyone has time on explaining how to be a millionaire
But the good news is the tutorial explains how to send data to the server, like move(x, y)

You can find examples of games that do this, Electrotank,SmartfoxServer, Player.IO all have game examples you can start from to build what you want.

There is also an open source as3 engine called citrus engine that may be useful. You can use citrus engine on the client, and just do some basic collision checking on the server so people cant cheat.

But thats a seperate discussion
