Hey, nice app you've got there! : ) Could you be a bit more specific? Is there a limit of connections in each room? How many tris are there in each character? Is there more processing involved in each game? I would configure a stub client to access youtube, and handle the basic server communications you've got there (mic broadcasting & receiving, chat, facebook connection...) and see how much overhead will they bring. Does the server handle some kind of mixing right now? If you haven't got much control of how many people will be in a room simultaneously, you run the risk of having a cpu-killer at some point...
Well, but with some smart coding, and keeping some secure limits in mind, you shouldn't have much problem with running your application on away3d/lite. The 3D part looks quite simple, but you will probably need to restructure your server-side handling mostly because you will need to use RTMP as the protocol to handle the audio+data exchange on flash. 2009/12/14 valeriuscrowe <[email protected]> > We're currently doing an MMO in Shockwave3D (http://apps.facebook.com/ > digparty) and we're considering porting it to Flash.
