Will this be done in a direct P2P fashion or using a master hub? If you are doing this in a direct peer to peer then your players will need to handle locating their friend's machine on the net perhaps via the IP address and may need to set up their machine at home to allow your chosen protocol be passed through to their machine. If you use http then the protocol will not be an issue. UDP may on some routers.
There are a few books on network game programming. These may help you out some. There are also some good online tutorials to get you started: http://gafferongames.com/networking-for-game-programmers/ Checkout GameDev and Gamasutra sites as well. This page has a list of game dev sites (on the right hand side) that mat be helpful: http://www.codebox.8m.com/gameprog.htm There are many many ways to inplement this. Start simple if you have no networking experience. Read and review the GB network components. The networking issues will be the same no matter what language so read what you find on python and c/c++ and apply that knowledge to gb. Hope this helps.

The answer is YES, it can always be done. The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will it take? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
