hi,
i am trying to build a multiplayer online game in applets. i would like to know why do we make the server application which accepts connections on a specified port, when we can simply make the server application in servlets/jsp. By making raw sockets, we restrict our game to be played behind a firewall.
Should i design my own protocol for transmitting messages between client and server. Can i communicate with XML Or can i use JAXM or anything else?
What would be the best solution?
