Networking a game
We've created a game in my java class, but I'm not sure how to network it together to be able to be 2 player.
Do we need to create something like a client/server similar to like an IM system?
How would I implement notify() and wait() methods in to this?
If someone could help me out or direct me the right way that would be awesome.
Re: Networking a game
Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?

Re: Networking a game
It's a battle ship game. I want to figure out how to connect 2 players to one game. Also, we want to have it so 1 player can only make 1 turn at a time, I'm guessing I would use notify() wait() for this. So, each player can only take 1 turn, then wait for the other player to take his.
Re: Networking a game
You could connect peer-to-peer or use a server for the communications between players. How would one player get the IP address of the other so they could connect?
