Hi,
I am interested in your project. Is it accessible anywhere?
I have some time ago worked on this in Python, including the server,
but since I am pretty short on time ...

I was more interested in the communication protocol, than graphic
representation. Have you seen pysol? It uses TKinter canvas and works
very well - but it's single user

If you happen to be interested, I can send you my sources :)
