I am indeed new here, but I have been reading the responses for.. since I've began programming.
I am still new, and absolutely fresh out the womb when it comes to networking. But I'll keep this brief so you can give a conclusive answer.
I have a webserver and a domain name. I would like to use websockets to make an environment in which both players can move at the same time on the same screen. For example, if the mouse controlled a dot, and two people connected to a global "world" then a single person could see the dot of the other person in real time. An example of something like this would be rumpetroll.com.
I don't expect to get a whole lot about how to design a game like RuneScape (although I think that the idea is almost the same). I just want some in-depth explanation of how to get this cool little interaction going.
Any links to how to program to sockets would be GREATLY appreciated, because all I can find on the internet is the concept. Nothing on the mechanics and what each command may do.
Anyway, thanks guys.
