| Hi, is there a way to make Blitz3D games that access their media files from a server instead of the hard drive of the computer they're on? I was thinking rather than always having to update an entire game, maybe I could just change a few individual game files, then the next time someone plays it it's a little different, because the files on the server are different.

| You could do that, but if the user has to redownload the entire game media each time, then it will be very slow. What I've seen with a 3D chat is: the app will download a list of files that were edited since he was there last time, and only those files will then be downloaded. Just a matter of organisation I guess. See code archives about how to download a bitmap from a server. Both should be possible, upload and download, but I'd suggest to use http POST protocol, not GET. Last edited 2010 |
