[Red5] AMF, Red5 and gaming

[John Grden]

Hey Jim! thanks for stopping by!

I know your pain ;( I built a game a while back and when FCS first came out
in beta, I converted it to multiplayer. Then I got a whif of the price tag,
and it's been on the shelf ever since.

You'll be happy to know that SharedObjects will be supported in Red5! ( do a
little dance, make a little love, get down wit yer gamin' )

Also, and I'll let one of the other guys jump in for a fuller description,
we're going to be putting in support for writing scripts in different
langages, first and formost javascript. So, if you're familiar with AS1,
you'll be able to pretty much jump right in.

So, did I make your day???

Before you do a happy clap/dance, we're looking at sometime in the first
quarter or 2006 to get to v1.0 - you WILL however, be able to test whatever
we post in the meentime, but be warned, if you write something for Red5, it
might change from that point to verion 1.0 ;)
