Basics of Multiplayer #1

Hello. I just wanted to help people with multiplayer on smilebasic if they only have one 3ds or need help!Like if this helped MPSTART Starts a local connection

MPSTART (MAX PLAYERS),"(LOCAL NAME)"

• Example

MPSTART 4,"ANYSTR"

(^What does that do?^) That example is allows 4-players connect to each other. They Can also only connect if all of their local names are anystr. MPEND Ends a local game.

MPEND

MPCOUNT Number of users in local game

PRINT MPCOUNT

(^What does this do^) It displays the amount of players. What the numbers mean: 1- 1 player 2- 2 player 3- 3 player 4- 4 player MPSEND Sends data to all users in local game

MPSEND "(Character String to send)"

Example:

MPSEND " HI"

(^What does this do?^) The example sends all players the message "hi" if they are all receiving. MPRECV OUT Receives data from MPSEND

MPRECV OUT SID,RCV$

Example:

MPRECV OUT SID,RCV$
PRINT SID;":";RCV$

(^WHAT DOES THIS EXAMPLE DO?^) Shows you the number of the device that Sent the data and what they sent. Example (Local Chat 4-player max):

MPSTART 4,"CHAT"
@loop
CLS
MPRECV OUT SID,RCV$
PRINT RCV$
PRINT"X:TYPE"
IF BUTTON()==#X THEN WAIT 10:GOTO @SEND
