I was thinking that we could use the recently released scratch multiplayer app Snyff
http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=15445
to make a community scratch game. It is fully up to the community to decide what the game is about etc. I am simply the moderator for this project. Tell me if you interested and what your talents are.

Can I be like the mod's assistant? Be a mod too?

Yes, but you do need to contribute in some way though via

Does snyff have networking capabiltis over the internet? the guide seems like its only built for the home(local) network

Heliosa · 2009-04-02 23:42:27

Scroll down to the bottom to see a link for a guide for networking (albeit it is for using python for scratch)

I made a project where you make something in code. Check my sig for Mrs. Code....

I saw it. It's neat. If you have a good knowledge of scratch, it's not hard to learn how to use it with Snyff

I am trying out Snyff right now. Thanks for the comment!

Heliosa · 2009-04-03 13:56:09

Well, what kind of game could we make? A drawing program? A 10 person battle game? A multi player building set? Any ideas?

Snyff is purposely made to be as dumb (or "thin") as possible. When you tell it to connect to an IP address and Port, it just gives it a try. It doesn't know or care whether the IP address is for a computer in your kitchen or a computer in Antarctica. As long as there are no problems with firewalls (and there are always problems with firewalls) you can connect to any socket server (which is what your Scratch project becomes when you enable external sensors).

Wait wait wait people...

Before you start dreaming up impossible things you should try a groundwork for the project. Make something simple that allows a few users to move a character on screen.

Heliosa · 2009-04-03 21:45:06

Good point. I could actually whip something up quick. I'll post it when I have the demo ready.

archmage · 2009-04-03 22:28:57

Remember you need 2 projects, one for remote systems and one for the base server.

Just try to make some moving characters.

Heliosa · 2009-04-03 23:44:05

I made a test for the client part of movement: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Heliosa/476662

archmage · 2009-04-04 13:42:28

Heliosa, I think that the first thing you should do is just try out the demo programs on the Snyff page. Just to get a feel for the program before you start doing hard things.

Magnie · 2009-04-04 15:00:11

Heliosa, I am currently making a project to test if the game is connected to Snyff. (I would rather we do the MMO in Python cause I have that but not Adobe AIR and I can't instal it cause I don't have admin privs but I can get it if someone instals it then copies the file then uploads it then I can download it then do that...and I'm not sure if it's legal either...)

Magnie · 2009-04-04 15:19:51

MMO: I learned the broadcasting system with Snyff but I can't get Snyff to work. I was also thinking maybe we could have it so there is a Snyff version and a Python version so people who can't get Snyff to work can use the Python version instead so like a Python "server" and a Snyff "server". I can also make the project work with both type of files in one project. Like Python can broadcast <Connected and so can Snyff so we can do it that way. What do you think? (From my comment)

I have been a little bit, but I think it'd best if I coded the non communication parts of the client and server, like the admin tools to, for example monitor players or generally just control the game akin to a game master

But the thing is that you have no experience with network connections like this. I just things will go a lot better if you know what to do.

Heliosa · 2009-04-05 01:43:54

And I'm learning. Yah!!! Anyway I'm almost done fixing the server.

How Do i Enable Remote Sensors?

Jewett · 2009-08-03 14:17:21

wait so will it be possible anytime soon to make an online mmo off of scratch that you do not need the scratch program to play it??? because i am trying to make an mmo that requires the least amount of association to scratch (even though without scratch i would be helpless because flash confuses me.)

You need to have scratch and install the program
