PartyPeer: a P2P based Massively Multiplayer Online Game
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using peer-to-Peer (P2P) architectures for large scale interactive applications such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) is very challenging because of the difficulties to maintain a consistent game world in a distributed topology and exchange game state information in the P2P network without a central sever. In this demo proposal we present the innovative design and implementation of PartyPeer, an online social game which supports a massive number of users using our P2P based streaming network called ACTIVE+. We also discuss some of the implementation challenges when building this real-world P2P based game.

متن کاملClustering players for load balancing in virtual worlds
In current Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) the distribution of load is not distributed dynamically. But players tend to concentrate in certain regions of the game world and cause overload conditions. Therefore we propose the use of structured Peer-to-Peer technology for the server infrastructure of the MMOGs to improve the reliability and scalability. Previous work segmented the game...
