2007 Flash Game Teaser/Plea for Help

[burkey_turkey]

In this gab between build season and the regionals i had some time to start on this years Flash game for the 2007 FRC game. I had made on last year (thread at http://chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46460) and decided to make another this year.

This years will be very different form last years. Last year the game was played by two people on the same computer, this years will allow 6 people to play each other over the internet. Last year you could choose between 3 different robots. This year there are hundreds of possibilities (this feature can be seen in the teaser). THis year should be more realistic than last years as well. As of sunday afternoon i have only gotten as far as you can see on the teaser. im not saying this will be done in a week, in fact i predict it will not be done until around easter (because of spring break).

The reason i am bringing it up so soon is because i could really use some help. Right now the multiplayer server is running off my laptop, which is also hosting the flash file itself. If some generous FIRSTer runs a small server in their basement (which i know some of you do) i would be very grateful if you would allow me to use it to host the game. All that is necesary is the instilation of SmartFoxServer Pro (the free edition, available off their website) and the bandwidth that the game requires.

I will post updates and such on this thread as i continue working on it, and appreciate any feedback/bug reports etc that you want to give.


So now i present to you the first installment of the 2007 FRC game RackAndRoll:

http://151.199.217.250:6666/RackAndRollv2.html

keep in mind that this is a very early installment, as i just started this weekend, and so it isnt too exciting. Right now all you can see is the part up to where you have customized your robot. I am looking for feedback as to the price of the different items and if you think more/less items should be available.

Oh, and i forgot to mention, only 6 peopel can be logged on at a time. sorry! this is so i dont waste bandwidth and so i never accidentally have 7 people trying to fit into a game for 6.
