Coming close to completing an ASP tick based game. A tick based game is when every 'tick' new scores are calculated, lots of equations are executed etc etc. With thousands of players this can take a few minuites. The way a tick runs is the game checks if a tick should be run on every page view, then executes a file if it should. However my question is, when the player who activates the tick views a page he will see just white for ages whilst the tick executes. Is there anyway to redirect this user and continue the execution of the tick file? |

Of course it depends on the access you have on the server but have a look at msmq (Messege Queing) which is accessible with asp. Just needs to be enabled on the server. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Assuming your are using MSSQL, these calculation could be done via a stored procedure and scheduled via SQL server and you would not need an ASP page to kick off the project. If you can't schedule via MSSQL then you can use a trigger to kick off the stored procedure. ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L.

lol - not to familiar with game theory and practice. In my neck of the woods, tick-based refers to Old Lyme Disease.  -------------

| Tick bases basically means that stuff happens every tick. A tick in my game will be once every hour probably. So for example you can build a tank, and it will take 12 ticks to build, so in 12 hours(ticks) it is built. The opposite of this I guess is real time. Tick based games are great because they go on for months, are very addictive and your playing it when your not! |
