All of this sounds great ideas! I'm sure we could have a rocking Sudoku multiplayer experience. :) > I think that doing multiplay in sudoku is both very innovative and > fun.

Perhaps you can > even manage both? :) I totally agree that we should have a general solution but think we should focus this SOC on one application. I prefer to have one game properly using tubes and nicely polished than half baked pieces of network code in each game. Lot of soc ends up with not-merge-ready quality code and are finally never integrated which is a bit of a shame. Maybe we should see the Sudoku game as a first attempt of tube integration into gnome-games and from this experience design a more general solution later?
