Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a Structured Multi-Agent (SMA) model for Massive Multi-player Online Game based on the peer to peer overlay (P2P MMOG). This model first defined some important theories relevant to P2P MMOG. Then, three core algorithms including node joining algorithm, neighbor discovery algorithm and node cross domain algorithm were implemented. In order to ensure the consistency of the states of resources, we required that event should be handled by the agent who had the resource processing license. Through analyzing the response speed, scalability, load and robustness of SMA, fine performance is indicated.
