Multi Player Games

Is it hard convert an already made platform game into a multi play platform game? In multiplayer I mean you can play up to four people on-line. Do you need dlls for this?

it also depends on how you coded, certain ways of doing things just doesn;t work in mulitplayer.

Dlls are not needed persay, but they might help. Melee is making his platform game online without past experience, so I feel you should give it a go, you may learn something. Oh, and when you are finished with the blog could you uncheck it? I won't do it now because people can give more insight.

Yeah, online isn't hard. So far making session scripts is the hardest, and even it isn't too hard.

Edit: Ack. I take that back. Setting up sessions is really annoying me now…
