[Newbies] Network Game - Server Client Approach

[Martin Bleichner]

Hi Derek,

I have to confess I just want the application. I assembled a small program
with squeak and was happy that I could do everything I wanted within
minutes.
(Drag and drop of morphs and some scripting).

Then I wanted to do that as a collaborative game and hoped that that would
also be possible quite quickly. However, it turned out to be more difficult.
So now I am stucked with network programing.
I am simply interested in the result. However, if there is no other way I am
also willing to learn how to get there.

Martin
