Does multiplayer work at all?

[That Guy]

So does multiplayer work at all with any phone? I have a droid x and
when I use the multiplayer option it says it will take a few minutes
to get a accurate gps of your location. The thing is that it never
does. It just stays on that infernal grey screen! I try to access it
from my computer but i get the same results. is it down for now? Whats
going on!

Never works for me, HTC Desire. My dad works in a phone shop, recently I did a trial on every Android and it didn't work on a single one! I can't test iPhones because my dad can't sign one out.

Yep, it's pretty broken.  Sorry, guys.

It's ok, I was wondering if using Flash to write it might help.
Any thoughts?

Well, the whole point was to see if I could write a version of the game that would simultaneously work on both Android and iPhone devices, so Flash isn't an option.  It seems that HTML + JavaScript + Google AppEngine was almost there, but not quite ready for something as complex and real-time as Zombie, Run! when I tried making it.  There are plenty of issues that I had to work around that basically mean it would cost me a lot of money to run the site, and that it would be a bit frustrating to use (laggy).

The technologies that will really enable a web-based game like Zombie, Run are about a year away, we'll probably see something really interesting happen around then.

Ok, cool!

A year, huh? well, might as well cryofreeze myself and wait until then.

[Sacha M]

Room in that booth for one more? But what if the world ends by then? It'll be like a movie and we will be the last people on Earth!

Yes but not a full blown apocalypse, not quite the same.
