Im a second semester Game Design student and this semester we have another informatics project.
I decided to do a little multiplayer game in processing. I think i will use XML files since i tried out the server and client thing and realized that it might become a bit too complex or too complicated for me to understand and to program with that.
I already managed to write an XML creating program and wrote and read information out of it. Offline though.
Now i was curious if it is possible to put a XML file on my webspace for the game to use. So all users/players (up to 4 maybe) can read and write all the information out of it simultanuously. If other users are online, their positions etc.
Now i dont know and didnt find after quite a while of searching if it is possible to access such a file and change things in it while its on the server and accessed by all of the other players. We had a bit of introduction concerning multiplayer but not enough to fully understand the limitations, possibilities and the way things have to be arranged to work for such a project.
I just want to know if this is basically possible to use an xml file on a webspace and read and rewrite it while its online and maybe if one of you has an idea how it could be done.
Otherwise thanks alot for your attention.
