Ok, I've completely redone Zombie Tag. (well, its not done yet and it still has the same graphics)

With Lacewing, I've made a 10x more awesome interface and I've redone the buggy events.

I used hidden editboxes so that I could make a semi trans chat box. (per request of Jamie )

Now, Zombie Tag has a user friendly interface that allows you to have more than one channel/game at a time. It also has a chat system, and allows you to set room passwords. It even allows you to change the server if you are experiencing problems!

The movement is working but I still have to code:

- Line of Sight
- Tagging
- Spawning
- Ending the game

BUT BEFORE I DO:

I need some feedback on the Line of Sight. There are some sacrifices that need to be made in terms of speed if there is to be a really nice Line of Sight - especially if I want to make this a Flash game. So, what method should I use, and who should be more limited - the Zombies or the Humans?

Speaking of limitations, I don't know who I want to be faster, or if I want one to be faster (Zombies or humans). I will probably make them the same speed.

Also, the fog of war goes with the Line of Sight - should I make the Zombie's visibility greater than the human's like before? Or should I make them equal?

My proposal:

- Equal Fog of War
- Equal Speed
- Zombie is limited with LOS, whereas the human can see other humans but needs LOS for the zombie

Any thoughts?

Temporarily, I have modified the Zombie Tag game to use server.klikfarm.com in order to allow testing at times when my server is not running.

This means you can test at ALL TIMES!

I also made sure I used the newest OINC extension, which the channels are now bug free.

The fact that there were some mishaps in the switch to the new OINC means I still have not had any tests run! Please help me test this game and provide feedback before I lose interest in making it!

The "Lock Channel" feature will be fixed to unlock automatically if user count drops below 3. I am planning on also having the button appear only if the count is above 3.

Please provide feature ideas as well, anything to get this game back into the fast lane!

EDIT: A LOT OF ERRORS!

Please wait until the next upload. I believe there is something wrong but it doesn't make sense to me at this time. If you could help explain why might the characters do not see each other even the code has not been changed, that would be a HUGE help!

Zombie Tag is an online multiplayer game. It's mainly infection tag - one person gets defined as 'it' (Zombiefied) and the rest have to run for their lives! If you get 'tagged' (Your brain sucked) you join the zombie and try to get the others. Last one to be a zombie wins!
