Let’s start this new year off with a bang.
Bloody hell, what a week. While the rest of you were probably spending quality family time with relatives & relaxing, I was doing the same, except I wasn’t relaxing. I made a Tic Tac Toe game with the all the free time/days off I could using Flex, Flashcom, and Central. I learned a lot, and have the classic “I hate how I did this, I must redo it knowing what I know now because I at the time, I didn’t know what I know now.” I coded myself into a corner on the Flashcom side, and couldn’t allow connection instances; meaning, all users share the same NetConnection instance; you all play the same game of tic tac toe, and have to share. You CAN chat, however, while waiting. She’s buggy and sort of works, but I fixed all of the horrible crashes… that I couldn’t find anyway. I plan on re-doing the core architecture in the future so you can play more than 1 game; I like how the UI fits, I like the Flex code, I like the Central code, I just don’t like the Flashcom code, both client and server.
I only have 10 connections, so if you can’t connect, try again later.
Have at thee!

Already getting feature requests…
Her majesty:
– toggle who starts first. Since you can’t lose in Tic Tac Toe if you start first, this at least evens things out.
– have a global scoreboard of who scored what
– have an invite to game via a context menu by right cliking on the name in the person list
– shrink the chat icons
Me:
– …another game other than TicTacToe
– allow room creation

the central installer thing to the right doesnt work for me at work.. i refuse to update to flash 7 player!!! :)
It doesn’t work at your work b/c you have a proxy server. Central does not currently work behind a proxy server.
Your installer for TicTacToe doesn’t work here either mate.
The one on the left is too small; if you click the ‘install’ link in this post, does that one work?
FYI – I installed yesterday, and everything was fine; today it told me that the application had been created with the developer edition & had expired. So, I reinstalled, and now it works again.
Sorry chief, until I get my licensed copy of Flex, my current SWF’s will expire at the end of a 24 hour cycle. I’ll keep uploading new ones till then… sorry for the trouble.
…your welcome to compile yourself, hehe!
But i can’t install it in this time! I’m from Russia, if your flex server is down in night…
