I'm full of them. If you shake me up, they'll fizz out of my eyeballs all over your poor rug. Use caution!

So I'm attempting for the umpteenth time in my existence to build a competent platform engine for purposes I'm not divulging yet. Out of pure curiosity, how hard is it to make a game online for, say, up to four players, and what kind of lag can I expect with that, and what do routers do with GM and the interwebs?

It involves punching, kicking, and blowing things up in a familiar manner. Expect more in the future - this one's a joint venture, so I'm hoping my partner(s) in crime will help prod me in the proper direction.

As for HamstaPowah, NOTHING LAWL PHAIL. Haven't been into a bunch of menu coding, I'll be honest, and that's most of what i have to do. :/ that and sprites, which i tried to do last night, but discovered i had more patience for flash. Seriously.
