I\'m starting a small project, basically a multiplayer (as in more than two players) variation of the classic Battleship game.
One problem that I\'m trying to resolv
use xmpp via smack over gtalk. You don't have to worry about server and single point of failure. let google worry about that! I have written Tetris to make it play against two player using gtalk as a communication layer. http://code.google.com/p/tetrads-drop-lite/ You can try MUC if you want more player.
