Android Question Making multiplayer card game.

[holdemadvantage]

Hi all, I need some suggestions on architecture+networking. Just finished my turn -based card game and i would like to add multiplayer mode, is there a solution with some libs + b4A? Thanks in advance

You can use Network library and, usually, you should send/receive few bytes of data, representing commands you invented along with some values (code of the card you played, for example)

I recommend you to check HttpServer. It will be easier to use it instead of managing yourself multiple connections.

Thank you bot, i will check...
@Erel, as i see HttpServer will be useful if you connect to a device in the same wifi network, but i am not able to figure out how to do over the internet.
Maybe an online database and a cycle to check if the status has been modified, but i don't think this would be the best solution

Over the internet is a different story. You will need a server for that and make all devices connect to this server.

Is there an online service (i.e. like parse.com for notification for example) i can use for my target?

 

[Erel]

I guess that you can use parse for this.
