P2P Gaming Libs from my MAX 2010 session

November 24th, 2010


Update 3/18/2011: Source-code is available here: https://github.com/tomkrcha/RealtimeGameLib

Update 11/28/2010: Library now accepts variable group name, so you can create more instances. Download updated library below. Example: var game:P2PGame = new P2PGame(serverAddress,groupName);

Lot of you guys are asking for libs I’ve used in my Adobe MAX 2010 session Building P2P Multiplayer Games.

It’s still work in progress, but you can basically grab SWC libraries here with example.

I don’t want to publish source now as it needs several changes, refactor, comments, etc. But source-code should be available soon :)

This library has been used for MAX Racer without no change. So it’s kickass tested stuff! But not completely finished and documented yet. So this is the disclaimer, I do not provide any guarantees.

If you want to start playing with it, go ahead. Comments are highly welcome!

This engines creates a full mesh network via DIRECT_CONNECTIONS NetStreams among all connected users. Thanks to that, you get lowest latency possible and it’s highly suitable for realtime gaming.

P2P Video Calls on Android

My fellow evangelist Mark Doherty built a great demo app using P2P and AIR 2.5 for Android. Watch this video, where he shows how it works. And btw: I should really teach him how to pronounce my name :) Mark, you are going to get a lesson at MAX 2010!
