Re: Show HN: My first Ludum Dare entry, online multiplayer game Hide-n-Stab
#32Last weekend for the Ludum Dare 48 hour game competition "Beneath the Surface," I created an online stealth game. Building even a simple multiplayer game in 48 hours was a very ambitious goal but I'm very pleased that I was able to pull it off. In Hide-n-Stab, everyone looks alike, but some characters are harmless NPCs while others are fellow players like yourself. Your goal is to find other players and kill them by…
I love the concept, though the speed boost mechanic destroys the stealth mechanic that I think you were going for. Those who eschew stealth and just get good at knife fighting mow down everything in their path, dummies and stealth players alike.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Source is available here: https://github.com/bendmorris/hide-n-stab Both the client and server are written in Haxe, which is compiled to Flash (for the client) and Neko VM bytecode (for the server).
I like the game its ideas but why are you still actively developing and encouraging others to develop in Flash? I don't want to come over as offensive, but it is a dead platform. Uncertain what the LD-jury judges on, but they should incorporate technology stack in the final results. In your case, you would get a few points off for using Flash.
There are plenty of developers still actively producing and releasing games in Flash - the fact that it can cross compile to iOS, Android, and Mac/Windows desktop applications with a single codebase is pretty compelling.
Haxe and Unity also do this, but I would hesitate to call Flash a dead platform - it's just not the flavor of the month right now.

#34How do I compile this? I've installed haxe, lime, openfl, renamed openfl version from 1.4.0 to 1.2.3, but every time I install a dependency it gets stuck on another. The one it's currently stuck on is spinehaxe, for which google finds two github repositories, neither of which seem to be of any use. It's not in the lime repositories either.
How do you compile this?

You'll need a few of my own libraries:
* spinehaxe: github.com/bendmorris/spinehaxe
* SpinePunk: github.com/bendmorris/SpinePunk
* my fork of HaxePunk: github.com/bendmorris/HaxePunk (use the "all" branch) which has modifications not accepted into the main version yet
To install spinehaxe and SpinePunk, clone the repository, enter that directory, and run the command "haxelib dev src". For HaxePunk, clone my fork, check out the "all" branch, and run "haxelib dev HaxePunk path/to/haxepunk"
Hopefully installing those should be enough to get it working.

By the way, on Chrome, I can't move at all. WASD nor arrows work, but the other controls (like X) do work.
EDIT: Got to a score of 7 then the game froze. I think it's a bit unbalanced at the moment... there's just too much advantage for revealing yourself: you get to run very fast, and you can easily maneuver behind people. Also, there are a lot of netcode issues such as entities showing up that aren't actually there. It's pretty fun though!
EDIT2: Yeah, there's some kind of freeze (infinite loop) bug on Firefox that sometimes triggers after killing someone. Makes it hard to play...
I think this game has a lot of potential. You should put in a leaderboard to see who has the highest score.
EDIT3: Managed to trigger the "can't move" bug on Firefox, so it looks like it's not browser-specific. Then I triggered the freeze bug after pressing Z, so it looks like it doesn't matter whether or not you've killed someone for triggering the freeze.

Did all you said, modded the openfl version to 1.3.0, then the following:

Edit4: Oh there are replies that HN doesn't show in edit mode. Okay. Gonna try this!

In HaxePunk, edit the file "include.xml." Find openfl, remove the version completely (just ""), save and try again.

The targets you want are "flash-final" for the client and "server" for the server.
Before building, modify src/hidenstab/Defs.hx to change the host and port.

You'll need to run "lime setup linux" to build the lime.ndll file and then copy it into the hide-n-stab directory.
edit because I can't reply to your comment: yes, the client also uses the values in Defs.hx. It's likely a Flash security issue due to running it locally. Try adding "-Dnetwork-sandbox" to the command in the Makefile which builds the flash client.
