How do I make multiplayer games?

LaiaPascual

I really want to make a multiplayer game but I can´t find out how. I have tried and tried but I just can´t do it.
I don´t know if I have to use these blocks:

The define block is meant for custom block use. The blocks can be made to do things like, jump-

The flag clicked block is the starting point in the project.

Multiplayer is very hard to do. Yes, it would be very convenient to use “Define”, because you could save some space in your project. You also have to use cloud variables, encode the data to the vars, decode it and send it to each player so it will work with more than one player.

You need to use cloud data.

All I know is that

IT REQUIRES CLOUD VARIABLES!

What game? There are so many questions into making a game that we can't read your mind.

What kind of multiplayer game? How do you want players to interact with eachother? Will it be scrolling? What camera angle will you view the game from? There's so many questions.

LaiaPascual

a game where there are other people that are from the game help

if the player asks the person a question I want the person to answer it

nope

like umm… do you know Terraria? Well I want it like that

really? How many questions?

You need to know what you are going to code before you code something.

Write down how you want every aspect of the game to be,
-how will the player control the game
-what will the interactions be to the game (like player with players or players set up shops?)
-what will the players do if they aren't scratchers and cant access the cloud? can they just not play?

then you can consider how to make a multiplayer game and people will be willing to help you

That´s another thing that I don´t know how to do

tl;dr Creating a full-fledged multiplayer game requires extensive knowledge of how cloud variables sync and get updated from client to client, as well as knowing how to convert your required multiplayer data to numbers. If you didn't know what I just said, then that means that you are not ready.

I made an engine for online multiplayer cloud games. Go into the scripts to draw sprites and stuff like that.

Thanks so much! I´m sure that I will use it. Can I take some of the scripts so I can add more things and make my game better?
