Chess - Online

Well, awhile ago, i gave this to some of my friends to test, but they couldn't connect to my games, and i couldn't connect to theirs, however, we could all run two instances of the game and connect to ourselves…

"Your programming just suckorz!", some of you might say, BUT i released another mplay game (Pong) a while back on 64D, and no one had any problems connecting. It just so happens that Chess - Online uses the exact same connection stuff, just made to look nicer. And when we downloaded and tried Pong, it wouldn't work for us either : /.

So what I am asking from some of you, is to download Chess - Online, and play against someone (not me). This is because I want to see if the problem is in my/friends computer, or if it is a problem with the game itself.

If its just my own or my friend's computer, then all is well and good, and I can continue development, but if no one can successfully get a game going, then I won't have a clue as to what to do.

If this is the case, perhaps some of you would be kind enough as to put forth suggestions as to what the problem could possibly be and how to fix it.

Now this is in no ways a finished product, and you'll find bugs if you search hard enough. (btw u can't checkmate, so don't even bother :P)

SO, if you would like to help me in this, download here.

Edit: Don't need help anymore, if you want to d/l just wait for 64D to come back to normal, then I can submit as a game as I've finished it :D.

Thanks for reading!

If you have a router you need to forward the correct port on that to enable people to connect.

Apart from that, I can't think of anything else.

Once you get the game to a stable state, you should think about Reflect enabling it. :]

I have concluded it is my own computer or my friends'. Thanks DoorMatt for the suggestion, but I have absolutly no idea as how to actually take your advice XD.

Development will continue!

Do you have a router, Theodore III? You'll need admin access to it and you'll need to know the network IP of it.

If you give me this info, I might be able to help you some more. :]

Thanks, but I don't really need this problem fixed, as long as it's just me and not my game :D. Thats all I really wanted to know.
