Yes, absolutely. And the best is, I believe we have such a beast already :)
To connect BGBlitz to Tony Lezards "Dueller" (unfortunately it seems not to be
available anymore) Tony defined a TCP/IP based protocol, so different blots can
play against each other. I implemented it in BGBlitz and Tony in Dueller.
It seems to me that this would be the perfect match. One issue: on the
documentation of the protocol is a "Confidential" mark, so I will ask him first
whether it can be published. I'm pretty sure we can connect anything except
Snowie and Jellyfish. There is only a small server needed that holds the state
and drives the match for automated duels.
Does this sound interesting? :))
Happy Xmas 2 all
Frank
