How to build a game with Adobe's RTMFP?


I want to develop a simple car race game, where certain number of players connect to a lobby and play the game at the same time. A game like haxball.

I read that RTMFP is a good choice for that. I know ActionScript 3, so where should I start to build such a game?

I found Cirrus, but in this article, it says :

In order to use RTMFP, Flash Player endpoints must connect to an RTMFP-capable server, such as the Codename Cirrus (previously Codename Stratus) service or Flash Media Server 4. Cirrus is a hosted rendezvous service that aids establishing communications between Flash Player endpoints. Unlike FMS, Cirrus does not support media relay, shared objects, scripting, etc. So by using Cirrus, you can develop applications only where Flash Player endpoints are directly communicating with one another.

So is cirrus suitable for my need?

And so, where should I start to code? Maybe an example game?

Thanks in advance !


Solution

  • Cirrus is deprecated by Adobe.

    You can use either Flash Media Server for Amazon AWS.

    Or hosting services like Influxis.
