In recent years, Flash virtual world is becoming more popular. World of Warcraft ( ) and Second Life ( ) followed EverQuest and they all made the trend of online games and virtual worlds. Later, Ultima Online ( ) and EverQuest ( ) brought multiplayer virtual worlds to a new level. They were actually MUD which changed the present method from text to graphic and from command input to GUI input. Later in the 80s, some graphical virtual worlds based on MUD were released. They get feedback and information from text description. Players connect to the MUD and interact with others or the world by inputting commands.
MUD stands for Multi-User Dungeon and it is a text-based virtual world that players connect to through Telnet. This example-rich, hands-on guide sequentially develops a multiplayer virtual world-the platform, the environment, quests, avatars, non-playing characters, and interaction between them. Finally, we move on to add interesting quests to the virtual world, which need to be accomplished by the player to gear up to the next level of the game. We will also let the players interact with non-player characters to complete some tasks. Then we will integrate buildings and other environment to the virtual world. We will allow the avatars to interact with other players and create a buddy list for each user. We will add some triggers to add amusement and life to the virtual world. Then we will create avatars and move the avatars in the virtual world. We will then design our virtual environment. The fun begins with first exploring existing virtual world games such as Club Penguin, Mole, Dofus, and World of Warcraft. With this book in hand, you will build virtual worlds that have avatars walking around and interacting with non playing characters, completing challenging quests, and allowing users to link with real-world friends. This handy book assists you in building amazing virtual worlds in no time by implementing ActionScripts in a Flash IDE. Creating a playful environment on an electronic network presents unique challenges as you combine a fun, upbeat frontend with some serious and complex server logic.
Using Flash, developers can build interactive environments where users can interact with the virtual world and one another, compete, and have fun. Flash virtual worlds are some of the most exciting-and profitable-online business being built today.
