Hi!
I am starting a project that involves the creation of an online chess game. I’ve been reading a lot during the last few days about online games and java 2d libraries, but I would like to know if exists any well proved framework or library made to develop java games and online communication between users.
Also i would like some advise about the best approach to mantain communication between users: client-server , using a master server, peer-to-peer, hybrid, etc.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I was looking into this some time back… The best I found was JOGRE (http://jogre.sourceforge.net/) and Ive been using this
to develop some online games (including Chess!)… The code is pretty well document with loads of examples. The Server has a nice little gui which is useful for monitoring client/server communication.
Not sure if its used on any websites yet (and am quite far off from finishing)… There are quite a few other solutions but havent investigated these yet. Let me know if you find something better.
