I was curious as to whether or not it's possible to create multiplayer games using Stencyl.
If so, how?

It is possible but stencyl does not support multiplayer, which means that you have to learn ActionScript 3 and write your own codes.

So there is no way to make from it a behavior using in Stencyl?

I guess not, considering that Stencyl Programs don't outsource to other programs, unless you specifically upload a file. I'm assuming in order to create a multiplayer game, that you need to create a program that outsources to the internet.

On the other hand it could be really simple. You could make a game that is multiplayer, but the multiple players would have to share the same computer. Let's say you wanted to race two characters, with two players sharing the computer. You could have First Player's Actor Type follow the mouse, while Second Player's Actor Type is controlled by W,A,S,D or Arrow Keys.

^That's the only way I can think it would work^

@SWATTLAMA Okay, thanks. I'm going to have to check that out. (Should have looked in StencylForge first -_-)

Stenyl Forge is annoying. Hard to find something there.
But I'll try that multiplayer kit today.

You can make games like checkers (not games with commonly updating positions from both players). You will have to learn PHP and host a site. You can use the HTTP POST and GET blocks under Game\Web.
EDIT: Can you cut it out with the glows?

The Kit only works on 1.x versions so download the older versions. (e.g 1.0, 1.1, 1.3, 1.4)
You can download it here
