Re: network game ?

[Henk Jonas <MetaView@xxxxxx>]

On a peer-to-peer base I don't care about cheating. And peer-to-peer is 
what I would have in mind when talking about multiplayer. The 
peer-to-peer mode must be compatible between different ports, let's say 
every thing in the packet struct is in little endian. I assume the game 
states too, on a little endian machine? For big endian machine, they 
might need to adjust the endian. Not a big deal, time isn't an issue for 
round-based strategy games.

I guess server-based MP with more than 2 players is something really 
different and if it will work on round-based games, I have no clue.

I might try to add something as I described to the Palm OS port, but it 
will surely not go conform with the very object oriented approach of the 
original. It means it wouldn't be a good candidate for original code 
base. But I could write something like a proof of concept and someone 
else would need to fit it into the class model...

Regards
Henk
