The server part was so easy thanks to the api. I'm letting the clients control the tanks and sending coordinates to the server same with the bullets. In my other game Push It which I developed right after combat I let the server run the physics on the shared object which works out much better. So if I had to do it again I would try to let the server handle the tank movement and shot movement and collision physics. Thanks! The server part was so easy thanks to the api.

Yeah the main reason I didn't mention your game is because I didn't know about it. Bad research on my account! And you are right, it fits nicely into what I was talking about! So everybody else reading this, if you haven't tried it you can play Multiplayer Combat <a href="http://nonoba.com/mike950/bw" rel="nofollow">right here</a>! Oh and btw, I'd be happy to hear some of your thoughts about developing it. Tips and tricks and do's and don'ts...stuff like that :) cheers! Hi Mike!

I was just curious if that's because you just didn't know about it or in fact you don't think it is a great game? It's multiplayer combat btw. hi,
just reading your multiplayer games blog and when I read
your examples about great multiplayer games I couldn’t help
but think that one of my games seems to fit your description
perfectly yet you didn’t mention it. I was just curious if that’s
because you just didn’t know about it or in fact you don’t think
it is a great game?
It’s multiplayer combat btw.
