Wanting to make a 2 player game to play over the internet

I'm wondering what it would take to create a simple game that could be played by two people over the internet? If you can just explain the process. Would I need to have my own website? Could you point to a link to learn more about the process?
I'm wanting to make a simple dice game that me and my aunt used to play. Should be a pretty simple game without a lot of graphics. I move around so much that it'd be nice if I could make this game playable anywhere for both of us. Thanks.

And, of course there's Google with some suggestions: [http://www.google.com/search?q=java+games+tutorial]
Note that although the game may be simple, creating it will probably not be simple. Especially for those not familiar with Java.

  • Can someone point in the right direction for how to make a multiplayer game over the internet

    Hello,
    I am looking into making a game where two people who can be in different places would log on to the app, log in and can play - i.e. they would be connected over the internet. I'm looking for a hint on what is the direction to take and which technologies.
    For example is there a best practice for example if you make an app with DirectX and C++, and you use some kind of web service or something? or is it easier using C# and XNA? just looking for some pointers in the right direction. I have played around
    with DirectX, far from proficient but have familiarity, I have no experience with XNA but hear it's less hardcore and easier going. I'm particularly interested in what the best way to connect over the internet.
    Thanks

    What you are asking is very complicated and one of the more difficult things you can do in gaming. I'd strongly recommend you start smaller to learn and then move up to multi-player games as your skills grow.
    From the multiplayer client perspective it doesn't really matter which technology you use. You can write a multiplayer game in any engine or technology that can talk to the network. Choose the client technology that you are most adept at and interested in
    and learn it. You can go straight to DX, use a third party library such as Monogame (XNA isn't supported for Windows Store apps), or a complete game engine such as Unity. Once you can write a decent one-player game you'll have the foundation to start on to
    build a two-player game.
    At that point you'll need to define the problem much more specifically. As you state it, it is really wide open. How do you want the users to connect? Directly machine to machine? Matched through a web server but running client side? Connecting to a game
    running on a remote server? Something else?
    The network connection itself is probably fairly straightforward, but where to connect and how to manage that can be difficult. You'll have to decide what properties you want. Is this an action game where responsiveness is important or
    a turn based game where timing is less relevant?
    Are the players connecting locally or completely remotely? If the former then they can probably connect directly over the local network (NFC is great here). If the latter then they probably will need to connect to a matchmaker service to avoid firewalls.
    This can get very complex, but there are existing solutions you can use rather than writing your own.

  • I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

    I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

    Yes, they can play games - there are hundreds if not thousands of games available in the iTunes Store. Beware of the "free" games; many are free for the base game but charge for things like additional levels, "coins" etc. and those paid add-ons can add up quickly, to dozens or even in some cases hundreds of dollars. I'd strongly suggest you set up restrictions on the iPad to prevent your children from making unauthorized purchases. See:
    http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/ht/Using-Iphone-Content-Restrictions.htm
    You will need an Internet provider of some sort; Apple is not a provider and so the iPad does not include a data service. You can either use a home Internet connection with a WiFi access point (aka "router") or you can get an iPad with WiFi+Cellular and sign up for a data plan with a cell carrier. WiFi through a home Internet service will probably be cheaper.
    Regards.

  • HT4759 I want to make a new account on iCloud instead of the old one without loosing my information in the old one ?How could I do that?

    I want to make a new account on iCloud instead of the old one without loosing my information in the old one ?How could I do that?

    If you want to change to a new iCloud accout you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.

  • How to make available the peoplesoft PIA over the internet

    Hi All,
    I have installed PT 8.52 and HCM 9.1 in my local.. But during my free time in office I want to learn functional HCM modules so I just want to make the PIA link available over the internet so that I can access from anywhere.
    Please guide me how to do it..
    Thanks in advance,
    Girish

    Frankly speaking, that would be much easier to have an installation set onto one of your own computer (laptop/desktop), configuration of PIA over Internet can be very tricky and risky especially to bypass/configure the company firewall just a your own training.
    That said, if you get the authorization from your company to do it, the "easiest" way to do what you are trying to achieve would be to have a DMZ where a PIA is running in, this PIA would point to the in-house AppServer within very specific port/security level.

  • My new mini ipad and my older ipod make both via wifi no more contact with the internet!

    My new mini ipad and my older ipod make both via wifi no more contact with the internet!
    Two weeks ago we bought a mini iPad in New York. In New York, we have also taken into use cases. The mini ipad disposal was connected to the mac computer of my son, who lives there. We have not made ​​backup. At home in the Netherlands, we wanted this case for charging on the Windows computer, that we have at home. Immediately, the itunes program was activated (we had a few years an ipod in the house). Appears in the computer the message that you can register. Cases I tried that. I do not know if I did succeeded. There also were some choices of settings. So I made the mistake of choosing the setting to use movies as I recall.
    That same afternoon comes on the ipod in the message screen that he can connect to the server no contact. WIFI contact fails. The ipad is happening the same. The computer still works fine with the wifi connection. Both Apple devices have done well yesterday here in the Netherlands.
    Please give me a good advice?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How does Flash Player projector/standalone connect to the Internet

    I know that when a web service call is made from a flash player in the browser that the underlying browser is used to handle the traffic.  I also know that this isn't the case with flash projector because the security docs say that the projector files can't take advantage of SSL because they aren't run in the context of the browser.  So what mechanism does a standalone or projector application use to connect to the Internet?  I'm trying to analyze a possible application for someone from a security point of view, but I'm not sure what mechanism is in place.
    Thanks to anyone who knows or even knows of some decent references.  I can't find much on projectors....

    As far as I know, the standalone player does not connect to the Internet - it just plays local Flash content.
    Or can you actually give it an Internet (http) location to play?  (I do not currently have Projector installed, so I cannot try it.)

  • The last two times I used my credit cards over the internet they were compromised.  How do I make my Mac secure?

    The last two times I used my credit cards over the internet they were compromised.  If someone is accessing this information how can I make my computer secure?

    My guess is that it's not your Mac, it's the sites where you're inputting you information. Always look for the lock icon and to see if the vendor is using a secure https site, and then hope for the best. Nothing these days is completely secure.

  • I want to be able to remotely access my lion server over the internet how do I do this after installing lion server

    i have a mac mini with lion server, I just want to be able to access it over the internet and upload and download files to it like my windows server, but I dont have a clue how to go about even starting this process

    Im guessing you simply want to know what tool to use to access it. Meaning you access with your windows box with remote desktop - the mac equivalent of that is "screen sharing"
    step 1: enable screen sharing on the mac server:  system pref -> sharing -> screen sharing
    step 2: forward needed ports if behind a router (off the top of my head I believe its port 5900)
    step 3: depending on what type of machine you're trying to access from... if from a mac, finder -> go -> connect to server ->  vnc://ip_address_or_domain_name  ------ if from a windows or linux box you'll need to get a VNC client (see google for those)
    good luck and hope this helps

I WILL LAUNCH A COMPLAINT WITH EVERY POSSIBLE ENTITY IN THE ITUNES COMPANY AND BUSINESSES OUTSIDE THAT REGULATE THEIR BUSINESS UNTIL THIS HAS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR AS I AM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED BY A COMPANY I INVITED INTO MY TELEPHONE NETWORK IN GOOD FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HT4314 how do I turn off a game after playing so the app won't run down my battery?

    How do I turn off a game after playing it so the app won't run down the battery. This has happened 2x and I have had to reset my phone.

    To completely close an app (though a lot of apps don't remain active when you switch into a different app or go to the homescreen) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app that you want to close 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
