Hi Daniel,
I guess that this is typically what we see frequently on ML : students
have some project to work on (multi player game, for instance), they
pick some cool library like MINA because it's Apache, but it soon
appears that MINA (or whatever cool lib) won't become magically a multi
player online game project done and running.
Sweat, long nights and week-end, books, internet, lot of coffee, this is
the secret of good project. Tutorial won't replace that. Of course, MINA
tutorials are totally primitive, and need to be improved, but I simply
wish that those who went through them, and found them weak, to come back
with some improvements and proposal for better tutorials. This is quite
rare.
But be sure that if you go through the whole path successfully, we will
gratefully appreciate any feedback !
At some point in the future, someone will stand up and write a "MINA for
the dummies" book, or "MINA in action"...
It's up to you, guys !

Hi
I would say: don't go for a multiplayer online game if you don't even know
Java and MINA very good. Mina is a very good library and it fills its
purpose very nicely. It is not a difficult library to understand and it's
not too low level either.
I always shake my head when I read posts in forums about people asking
something like "Hi im just getting started learning to program, how can i
make my own mmorpg?". If you don't know enough programming to know how
much work you have to put in to make simple or advanced online game, don't
go for it.
I don't write this to insult you, it's merely just a reminder for you to
maybe rethink your goals and cut them into smaller steps...

I would like to build a multiplayer online game (client/server
architecture) in which the client is an
applet and server is a pure java. I would like to use mina framework to
build my network layer. I went throught Mina tutorials, It was very
difficult for me ...
i feel its very low level API. Can any one help me and guide me to good
tutorial.
thanks in advance
regards,
Maryam Farzaneh
