Fair warning: This will involve a lot of programmer art and bad jokes, but I'll be documenting the development of my online game. If you're interested in that, great.
It's not much to look at. I started work on the client. Progress is slow because I want to make this game as secure as possible, so I have to design it a certain way. The only data players can send will be their commands and the server will only send them data they need to know. All will be done on the server, and simulated on the client.
The good part is that maphacks become impossible. The bad is that this means if a player pops out in front of another, the ambushed player has to create a new instance and receive a new set of packets. It then gets destroyed as soon as it's out of the player's sight range. All this work has to be done on the server for each player. I'll likely have to recode the server in a faster language later on. (I think this is called O(n*n) scaling)
testObj = spawnDummy();
iniDummy(testObj,5,10,0,90, 300,200);
commandDummy(testObj,'up');
commandDummy(testObj,'down');
