Nonoba.com have just released details for their Multiplayer Flash games API for Flash developers. This should allow pretty much anybody with rudimentary flash skills to create multiplayer games, without any hosting costs.

The API supports the full range of multiplayer games, from simple turn based games to more complicated real-time games. To show these capabilities, they have released a new game called Nonoba Racer. They have also ported some of our old creations to act as examples in the SDK, such as Fridge Magnets, Multiplayer Asteroids and DrawPad.

Since they're so confident that they're on the right path with their Multiplayer API, they're also announcing their first big game competition with $20.000 USD in prices and a first price of $15.000 USD, for the best game to be built on the Multiplayer API.
