The game that has a shape of hexagon star. hey IceX normally with multiplayer, you will want a socket server, but for this type of turn based game, you can get away with "pull" type "chatrooms" so each "move" or even chatting posts to a temp database, and every 3-5 seconds each client (player) queries the database for updates, new moves causes the client (flash) to "move" and allow the players turn. each chat obviously posts a chat message. so it can be done, and work quite well without a socket server. make sense?
