Best remote multiplayer games for kids

Hello,
I have a cousin who is 6, she is allowed to use her parents iPad, and managed to find games to play, checkers, some other pretty simple games. She is only 6. I have an iPhone and a MacBook. I would like to find some game that we can play remotely. Any suggestion on what category and where to look for games that are remote play between two iOS users or one iOS and one OS X user? And what are good simple games for a 6 year old. I am happy to be bored playing a game as simple as tci-tac-toe, so to me it doesnt matter what the game is.

I have the same dliemma. Daughter 8, son 6 - 2 new itouches for xmas - one library , my iPad, wife's iPhone ??
I was intending on just keeping one library (this does contain music with explicit lyric content etc) and manage their music via separate playlists.
As far as accounts and restrictions go, I was going to set them up with their own itunes account (using mail addresses only I can use). Load the account up with a voucher each.
The restrictions I was going to apply at the iPod (rather than the account) using a PIN I know - this way you can limit Safarii browsing (i.e. turn it off), youtube, and the age limit to the apps they can install and run - and the movie ratings allowed etc.
Happy to hear other ideas though - I'm intending on setting this up BEFORE they get them.

How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games locally

How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games with my family. Everyone is located in the same house and uses the same router.
I have tried a few games but have not successfully connected 2 players

That is a weird question, as your GAMES could be interpreted a hundred different ways. Are we talking about third party devices here or what?

AIR 3 - mobile game for kids!

Hi,
Here's my mobile game for kids: https://market.android.com/details?id=air.com.xtdstudios.games.MemoryCards
I would LOVE to hear your comments!

Hi - Just checked out your link.
I like the video - is it representitive of the games performance on a mobile device? If so it looks like it maintains a nice frame rate.
I also like the transitions and effects you've added.

What is the best third party keyboard for kids with motor disabilities?

Got to the App Store and search on Keyboard - there is one in colors, Keyboard Pro, and others. See if one of those looks like it would serve your needs batter than the built-in keyboard.

Web Games for Kids?

I am building a website for raising awareness of Childhood Cancer. We want a section on this site that is for kids and will contain games for kids. I have looked and most games I find are low quality or not really kid friendly. I found some that may work but they are premium games from Code Canyon. As I am donating my time and hosting for this site I cannot afford to pay for the games.
Does anyone have any recommendations for games that are kid friendly and decent quality that I can freely put onto this site? (I don't mind adding credit for the game.) Of course this is a BC site so all code must be client side. I would prefer to keep it ad free if possible.
Thank You!

How to create a multiplayer game for steam using flash/flex?

Hi guys,
We've got a multiplayer game ready to go. Currently it is not multiplayer, but we'd like to get it to a stage where it can be played over the steam network by users of steam and owners of steam games.
We'd like to if anyone could briefly give us a breakdown of how to get out game up on steam and available for multiplayer?
Does steam host servers, and can we utilise a steam server to transfer data between players or would we have to run our own server?
Currently were using flash builder to publish via adobe air to a windows desktop exe. Can anyone briefly explain how - once a player has downloaded the game from steam we can connect two players? Does anyone know how to use actionscript 3 to access steam network?
Anyone have any experience developing multiplayer turn based game for steam using flash /actionscript 3 /adobe air?
Thanks for your help in advance,
i

You would want to use the SteamWorks API, which is available from Steam as a C++ library, but there is most likely an Adobe Native Extension (ANE) that would allow you to use the library in AS3.
I've never used SteamWorks but it seems to support peer-2-peer matchmaking (in other words, you wouldn't even need your own server, I think.)

Create a Multiplayer game for Android/iOS using flash?

Hi guys,
We're creating a flash - turn based game for iphone and android using flash builider (flex) and actionscript 3. We've built the game and have a working Ai and are now trying to figure out how we can provide multiplayer support on iOS and Android.
As far as Im aware there are the following options:
- Serversocket (although apparently this doesnt work with mobiles.
- p2p with native air plugin (although I understand that this requires a database as well as the build of a front end connect to players)
- apparently there is a new way with html - whereby two players can exchange data over a website without the need for a server.
- Third party package like appwarp?
This is driving me crazy as I understand the principle - i.e. send data from one mobile to a database - database fires message to opposing player - updates state of game on both mobile and on the server.
All we want is a turn based game that sends a simple string of code with the moves between two devices. Is there any way of doing this for mobile (Android and ios) using flash and actionscript 3, or flash builder - without using a database?
Can anyone recommend a straight forward way to do this?
If not - Im actually thinking of taking the finished game to a company and asking them to host the servers and port the game to android and ios for a cut of the royalties. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for you help on advance,
T.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for you kind response.
Do you know how to use air 3.8 to create multiplayer for iOS android? It's frustrating, it's a basic turn based game so all we really need is to send 1 line of code containing a move between two devices which then changes the graphics. I've done something like this before using a MySQL server.
I have a MySQL service on my hosting package for my domain, not sure whether I could use this?
As far as I'm aware theres now an option in HTML 5 to do thus kind of thing without a server and swap data directly through a web address.
Do you know roughly how much a small server costs to run?
We're basically trying to get this on ios, android and desktop mac and pc. We also want to launch it through steam nd allow people to play each other via the steam network. Do you know or know anyone that knows about this kind of stuff?
Thanks again, for your email. Where are you based?
Tom.

BEST iPad 2 case for Kids

My 5 year old has the Griffin Survivor 2 on her iPad, it's a great case.
See my review on it here
http://livinthemommylife.blogspot.com/2012/02/griffin-survivor-ipad-2-case-revie w.html

Thank you all SO much! My 2 1/2 y.o. uses my iPad and I've been paranoid about her dropping it! I was familiar with the Otterbox series, since I have a Defender case for my iPhone 4, but was not familiar with the Trident Kraken! I think this will be a perfect fit for her, especially since she's often frustrated because of accidental screen swipes, or from where she holds the screen, and it's slightly extended handles seem to be the perfect solution. I also found it on Amazon for $27! Nice!
I'd also like to add to @HuskieN, there are 24 hours in a day and if the other parents here are like me, our children get PLENTY of outside play time, as well as other extra-curricular activities such as dance and music class, however, there are times when she needs to sit still, and I'd much rather she play with the eLearning's Spanish flash cards, or Kids Manadarin language matching game than turn what should be a 30 min affair into a 2 hour one.
We're raising well-rounded children, ones who are physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and technologically experienced, so don't knock others parenting tacticts unless you know and understand the fullness of them.

?Games for kids (8yr) on PlayStation Network?

This community thing is a pain in the ****** - is this really the only way to get a question answered?
We have a PS3 that we use mostly as a DVD player, sometimes for games. My son is 8 and getting to the point where he's more and more interested in video games. He just bought Minecraft from the PlayStation Network, and we were thinking about buying a PSN gift card for Christmas so he can get creative mode and some skins, etc. I was wondering if there's a easy way to also find out if/which games are appropriate for younger kids on PSN. There's no sort category for game age/rating. Also, can the PSN credit only be used for downloading games directly to the PS3, or could he use his credit to buy a hard-copy game?

Hi MatthewESO, sorry to hear about what happened. Our colleagues at PlayStation are actually better equipped to respond to your PlayStation concern. Please feel free to contact them at https://support.us.playstation.com/. I hope this helps. - Charlie

Best bridge card game for Mac

I'm looking for a really good Bridge (card game) app to play against on the computer and learn the game. Anything out there that works with Leopard?
Also, a good online site would be great as well. Thanks!

Having tried a number of bridge programs over the years, I have yet to find one that bids and plays well enough to let even a beginner learn about the game. I understand there are some PC versions that are somewhat better, but not one Mac program.
If I may suggest, however, playing online with other people who are interested in learning is a much better way to go about it, plus it is much more social. [OKBridge|http://www.okbridge.com] is an online bridge club that has been around since [1990|http://www.okbridge.com/new-signup/deployed/about.php] (yeah, it's about as old as the Internet) and has 13,000 members all over the world. I've played at tables with players from four different continents! There are complete beginners and world champions, and a wonderful friendly atmosphere.
Sad to say, [Pogo|http://www.pogo.com], while free, does not have the same ability to sustain a beginner. You can play, but be prepared to endure frustration. I play chess and backgammon on Pogo, but the bridge rooms are sorely lacking, and the level of play is terrible.

Best way to setup for kids???????

1. I am trying to set up a new ipad for my daughter and I don't want to connect a credit card. She is old enough to drain my account "by accident"!!! Can this be done??
2. I am thinking of creating a new appleID for her but it seems like people frown on that is some chats. Any advice?
3. I have never set up a device for a child, is there restrictions and settings, to help make it safe and kid friendly, I should go over before I hand it over to her.
Thanks for the help

There are restrictions you can enable. You can lock out in app purchases, ratings on content and the addition and deletion of apps.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/
You can read here for more specific info.
You may also want to look into a browser like the McGruff browser, which has more controls than the built in Safari one.
YOu can make an Apple ID without a credit card. For a kid, if you choose to make her her own, I'd suggest not using the credit card but using an iTunes gift card....that way she can buy some stuff, but her ability to buy is limited by the amount of credit she has.

My game center won't let me in, have used correct email and itunes password, DOB and location....help want to get a game for kids

Hi, I need to figure out why my game center on iPad won't let me in, does it have anything to do with spyware?

No, but you don't need Game Center to get a game, you go to the App Store on your iPad.
