Multiplayer

I am trying to make a virtual world with scratch and I cannot figure out how to make the game multiplayer!  I would like you to be able to see all the other people playing the game, how can I do this?  Please reply soon!

Re: Multiplayer

I don't think I've ever seen a multiplayer world created on Scratch, but it may be possible, as stated on this thread.

Re: Multiplayer

You can try using Mesh - it's not perfect, but it can do quite a lot. Click here for a guide on it.  smile

Re: Multiplayer

Ok thanks for the Mesh guide, but how would I allow others on the game without scratch or mesh to play it multiplayer?  Also me and my friend who's working on the game with me have set up mesh and we enter the IP to join but it doesn't work, can anyone help me please?  Thanks!

Re: Multiplayer

Ok but don't you need to buy that?  Also that seems similar to Mesh where you must have the program to connect to eachother... hmm...

Re: Multiplayer

Hamachi is free. It creates a direct connection between two computers so you can use something like Mesh, which uses direct IP to connect.
