i want to make a multiplayer flash game, and i plan to put it in my website, so i think i have to make it by a free software, so i choose byond.

but can byond make a multi player game and embedded it to my website?

can byond connect to a dbms like mysql?

it's for my last project so i need to know that byond could do those thing. i planned to make a bridge (card) game as multiplayer game just like zynga poker in facebook.

thanks for your help. :)

Currently, playing BYOND games requires that the BYOND software suite be installed on the player's machine.

There's a flash client in the works, but it's not available yet. This is just my assumption (I'm not staff), but it may still be a while before its completed and fully public. The distribution method is also still a bit up in the air, so it's not clear if they plan to have the Flash client be free to use, or require some sort of membership fee from the developer.

Also, it's worth mentioning that the Flash client connects players to a hosted BYOND server.

BYOND can use MySQL, here's an article explaining how that works:
