Multiplayer Question

Dazza006

I have a game in mind of making which I would need a multiplayer battling system.
I would need the MP to compare stats to see who would win.
Does anyone know if you could add this in to a gamesalad game through X code or something else.
Can this code be added another way? as I know GS cant do this.

I don't believe any multiplayer over a server is allowed right now through GS. But if its on the same device you could do it.

Thanks for the comment I know GS can't do this only on same device
Do you know if the MP code can be added another way?

If it can I have no idea.

This is great news, can MP be done now some way?

That's awesome. Hopefully sometime soon

You can't add/edit anything in Xcode, right now the only multiplayer that can really be done with Gamesalad is to have two people physically using the same device at the same time. I believe.

@Dazza006
I know of no way to do true cross-device multiplayer with GS yet. We'll be fixing that though.

@jamie_c seems to have the correct assessment. Play and pass is the way to go for now.

@CodeWizard - Is the plan to just do Asynchronous? Or full fledged MP?

Async first. Real-time later.
