stay tuned.

The small arena game I made a long time ago wasn't an EO server. It was just, as someone mentioned, a small area game using a flash client.

With HTML5 technologies though, you wouldn't need flash to make a game client like this. You could use the canvas element and WebSocket API that modern browsers support. I'm assuming you're not reallyplanning on making these into functional clients, though. If you were, you could use nodejs in conjunction with socket.io to have a seamless way to fall back to flash sockets if the WebSocket API isn't available(the other transports like XHR wouldn't be fast enough for a real-time game).

It's possible though. I started working on an HTML5 game engine a while ago. I'm too busy working on other projects to continue it now, but in the future I would like to for fun. You can check it out hereif you like: http://dev.rakuhana.org/CANVAS/wut/pc.php There was support for basic networking, but I disabled it now because the server isn't running. You can walk around and spawn monsters with the button. Exciting. It's more of an interesting hack together and proof of concept morethan a game engine at that point. It's still pretty cool to see that stuff done with native modern web technologies, I think.

Arjen knows how well I program, right? XD

You guys that are working on the web client.
You really should put the images in a sprite sheet.
Or preload the individual images (using JS) , that way there is a flow when you hover and stuff.

That way the images have a delay in transition. (:

If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?

I don't know JAVA either but would make sense :P

Apps like minecraft are made in java, would be good to create one app like eo in java to play on web and pc, the hard is code.

Java applets suck. HTML5 is the future.

EO Arena was just an experiment more or less. It was fun while it lasted. I stopped because of a combination of a flash feature released in an update that partially broke something in the game, which could have been fixed (it wasn't too major anyway), and my growing dislike for flash.

I considered releasing the source when a bunch of people asked but just never got around to it. It wasn't anything special. Now I'd have to dig through my old laptop to find it.
