Scratch

Just so you know, the host is a ubuntu VM. Not a mac.
AND, client.fla is an OLE2 file, and I can't open it.

You can't compile the fla on Ubuntu, Flash CS simply isn't available. OLE2 is the file format fla is based off of, like Microsoft Office documents. If you don't have flash there is a trial at Adobe's site. The host can be linux, the other computer which is player 2 must be mac.

If you read the first post throughly, you would now that it use normal scratch sites, it is released, and it's website already exists. Go to the website. Download the non-mysql version, as well as the drawing example. And, compile using the steps on the site. Then, use the posts between me and Dinoclor tio get it setup.

I have released an example project, which is like the online game "Draw my thing" (although a lot less feature filled, I did it in about a half an hour of coding, and about 10 minutes of testing. I would be so happy if you follow the following steps to get this multiplayer technology that I have invented the best, and better than Mesh, Snyff, MMO and Go, and whatever else there was. The steps are:
1. Read the first post throughly
2. Like the topic
3. Go to the website, read it, and download the non-mysql version along with the drawing example
4. Compile the non-mysql version (steps are located on the site, and there is plenty of help scattered throughout this topic)
5. Use the steps at the end of page 4 which show stuff about getting flash up and running. You will need to Flash CS3 or later (it was made using CS4) in order to create the client. If you are good with Sockets in a language like Java or Python, please use the actionscript located in the client.fla file (if you don't have it I can post it, but since its about a hundred lines, I'd probably put it on the website) to make a cross-platform client application, so you don't need to do everything on a Mac, or have Flash CS3 or later.

Lastly, you will need to have a Mac/Linux variant/Unix in order to run the server. If you  are familiar with Winsocks or perhaps even Node.js, rewriting the server to run on Windows would be an enormous improvement for FireMMO's health.

If you get the drawing program up and running, please try to make you "little game for all of to go on". It's the biggest thing that would allow us to be better than the best. (and while you're at it post status replies, here, not only will it bump us, but if you do I can take care of all of your games advertising, (well, show and tell might not hurt, but I won't do that exact part)

Thanks again for your interest in FireMMO, and if you have questions just post,

Like I said, there is a trial at the Adobe website.

Dinoclor, are you still there?

But you said there is no flash CS for linux!

Death_Wish is right, there is wine, but with some work we can implement cross-domain policies (google it). Then again, if you can get your hands on a Windows it might work better.

Aaand judging from this, this will NOT be made using a hint of Scratch?

I'm going to try it, I hope it works.

@peterkap
What do you mean? This is for making an MMO with Scratch.

I am using Flash as a wrapper in between FireMMO and Scratch.

I'll install this as soon as I can.

What happened to the site? 

Cool! I'd like to beta! I'm good at scratch, html, css. and I'm learning Vbasic and Javascript.
