Interactive Games?

[Zac Roberts]

Anybody program any server side interactive games using JSP? Anyone have any good ideas for any? We need a little entertainment in this forum too right!

This depends on what game rule/logic, etc. Certainly you can do some of it with JSP.

An Indian friend of mine sent me this link. Have fun

I looked the above link from Anthony. I believe that JSP alone can not do that much.

No its macromedia.flash.
The most "gamy" jsp app I can imagine is a mockexam.

I think there could be some games developed with JSP but they would definitely not be like an arcade type of thing. They would be games that would require a step by step process, such as you roll the dice, then depending on the outcome, you make another decision. Card games, casino games, storyboard games, board games, games that run in a straight line if you know what i mean...

Yes, but you can integrate something like that with your webapp using flash remoting. Here's a sample website. You can get more info at the FAQ page.

I think I know what game you mean but NWN probably spoiled a lot of people already...
