Hi there.

Does anybody here know how to make a multi-user online appplication with Delphi 5?
You see, what I want is an online battle game where members who register from on the application, gets sent in to a database using something like Microsoft Access. I want all the stats to be stored in the database too.
Now, this isn't an actual game where you can explore a world map, this is just a fighter, and all I want is a database for all the users, restrictions to certain forms and an area where one user can call up a battle with another user.

Is this possible?
If it is, can someone send me a full tutorial on how to do this please.
Or if possible, will someone (or does someone have the source code) please make the source code, and database for me please and you will recieve admin access.

Thankyou.

I would suggest using somthing other than Access to store your data.

Oh, and I have an even better idea - do it yourself. You'll learn so much more that way. And the fact that you're using Delphi in the first place to make a game makes it sound like a database homework assignment you're livening up. I suggest www.gamedev.net and C++ - enjoy.

Access is limited. Use MySQL where possible... and definitely swap out Delphi with C++ if possible.

I am trying to it myself. I'm not asking people to do it for me. I'm just saying, if they have the source code then could I have it please?
I won't go to C++ because:

1. Woah... that looks hard.
2. I haven't got any C++ builder.

Thanks for the suggestions but I think I will stick with Delphi. Does anyone know how to connect delphi with a database such as mysql? I'm not sure how to use the ADO component very well.

First off, if you want to make a fully-fledged game, C++ is the only way to go. Yes, it's hard, but it's bloody fast, and with games, you need all the speed you can get. If you're looking for a compiler/builder, you can't go wrong with Dev-C++.
