Ah, if that is the case, the Nebraska system would be a good starting point. There are some logistic issues like how to set a server and let others connect, etc. and I don’t know how well it is maintained…. But when I was paying attention to it many years ago, Nebraska did work reasonably well.

Very interesting and doubtless useful but overkill for what I need.

All I want is for a single image (with a single screen though perhaps multiple duplicate screens) to have multiple mice and multiple keyboard inputs. Some operating system help is likely required for this. I am currently using Linux but would eventually be able to work on any operating system that Squeak does.

I guess this could be used for multiple developers to work on the same image at the same time and I guess this would be useful. But this is not what I am looking for.

I want to develop multi-user games (maximum 4 players) playing in real time so I need up to 4 mice and perhaps 4 keyboards. These games are for 4-10 year olds who would likely all be in the same room ideally on the same computer. So networking capability isn't necessary or the ideal way to go.

Is anybody doing any work in this direction?

Hi,

The is croquet.io http://croquet.io/ which allows "multiple users to work or play together within a single shared distributed environment". I wonder whether it is possible to take a squeak image and make it that single shared distributed environment. So multiple users would have some sort of UI (with system browser, workspaces, ..) and be able to work on a single underlining model (the squeak image).
