   [web] ASP.NET web based game
  Is it viable to make a web based game using ASP.NET? Does anyone have any link to games that are succesfully implemented using ASP.NET? Thanks all.   
  I don't have any links but this is an idea I've been playing with for a while.Obviously some types of games would be better suited than others.  (Having said I don't have any links look at Travian).  I play around with a long term RPG or RTS with c# every so often.I probably wouldn't recommend a FPS though! ;)   ;  ASP.net is not well suited for realtime high-performance graphics, since it is primarily designed as a web site/service platform. Apart from that, you can run any needed logic on the server side (given appropriate security credentials) so it is very possible to develop games (in general) on it.I don't have links to specific implementations, but I do know that backends of some of the largest games of Facebook are implemented in ASP.net. It is a common practice to interface client-side technologies like AJAX, Flash, Silverlight or any web-capable client with ASP.net, since it is very easy to develop IIS web services on the platform.   ;  Do you have any particular type of game in mind?To me anything involving large amounts of data and low graphics requirements (with the exception of a desktop client over a webservice perhaps) it would be ideal.   ;  It is definitely possible. I am actually building a game with ASP.NET and Jquery atm (it is slow going atm). I am creating a walkable world in a viewport for an adventure mode component to it, that will probably be the heaviest web peice (Utilizing an ajaxian approach). My game has a lot of data, but is using tiled graphics and 2d graphics for representation. I use JQuery for web service communication, and am looking at WebSync for a comet server for chat and grouping.The thing I like about Asp.Net is it has a lot of built in features such as authentication, authorization, caching, session management, etc. Also I am partial to C# and the MS Stack as it is what I do day in and day out.
