I read up on modem usage, though, and can most probably make a 2 player online game, but I really want to make one for 2 or more players, where anyone can go online and see what servers are active. I don't know the first thing about this, though. Is kahn an actual server, or is it the program to make your computer a server?
i'm not sure why you say it doesnt work, i click on the link
and it works...are you saying you dont understand anything there?
kahn is a server that allows you to run a WIN95 or DOS game
online...i never tested it but its suppose to allow you to
run a server from your PC or website.?..
Another question is, would anyone actualy play an ascii online multiplayer game? There's going to have to be enough people online at once for a game to get going, and I don't want to go to the trouble to code multiplayer if nobody will do it.
well thats probably a good question, there use to be lots
that would play i dont know now.....i supose that if you
get out there and advertise it alot of MUD/TELNET people might
try it....there are a few other text based(ascii) games
out there that do having followings, id say on a GOOD
day though you probably wont get more then 10-15 players
MAX to play....the one notable on i have played is a military
game called empireclassic it has a following of about 15 dedicated
players per game on a GOOD day generally though
only 10 or so...
wait for a couple weeks i'll send you the stuff i have on
the kahn server....then you'll have to study it....
