multiplayer games

ordinary73 · 2005-01-21, 22:28

I just read the myTetris-Thread. Nice one.

I thought a bit about games in MP and there comes a crazy idea. What about playing games (e.g. Chess - which could run in the background if one user is about to do other things within MP or go to sleep instead

) over the net with other MP-Users ?

I don't know what games could be implemented. More like strategic games with less realtime-movements. Just an idea :-)

That was my first thougt but I think it would be too difficult to live update the racket of the opponent.

That should not be an issue I think. Current online games like racing games or FPS shooters have to send way more data over the network and display more objects on screen than just 2 paddles an a ball.
