Network Game Programming

[ukneeq]

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any tutorials or example code for adding networking to a game. I have a pretty simple 2 player game and would like to add the ability to play someone else over wifi. I have seen the WiTap example from apple, but I was wondering if anyone had anything more specific to game play? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I am actually going to be in need to the same type of code in the future as well. I plan to make a game where two+ people can connect to a server via login and interact.

Live Poker is a good example of an app that does this.

Yea I want to do that as well. I 1st wanted to just try and implement it on local networks using bonjour and then work on adding it over the internet.

Check out Google App Engine: http://appengine.google.com/
It's free and with a little python code you can have a game server running in no time.

Then on the client, it's just a matter of using some NSURLRequests.
