I have some immediate just the socket.socket documentation, and generally for UDP protocol, see e.g. http://www-net.cs.umass.edu/kurose/transport/UDP.html Using it is very simple, on one computer, you send a (short) string, and on the other computer you receive the string (or it might be lost on the way). For your situation, I'd recommend to implement some sort of time constrain - e.g. if user moves cursor very fast, ensure that the coordinates are not transmitted with higher frequency that 50 Hz (or something). And combine the coordinates into one packet - it always helps to reduce the number of packets. > questions to your code, but don't want to flood here.
