Hi,
I have been palying with the idea for creating an on line lobby where players can locate opponents and join games etc.
My idea for a simple lobby was when the player opens the game it acceses a predefined site via ftp, downloads a file containing a list of current players, adds the local players info to this list, ip info etc and uploads it back.
The infomation of other players will then be displayed in the local program.
Can anyone see a flaw in this idea?
