Hi Folks,

I've been mulling over an idea for playing Sam games over a network. Imagine if you will, a version of the very excellent SimCoupe that acted as a server which would send the current screen to clients (with VNC like encoding), and also act on key presses sent by the clients. The end result would be like multiple people each with a virtual hand on the Sam keyboard playing a single game. It should be quite feasible over a LAN, or just a fast net connection.

Anyone considered something like this? Alas, I dont know if I could devote enough time to work on it. Why must good ideas always require lots of hard work?! ;)

Regarding SimCoupe, who is currently maintaining it? The only version I can find on simcoupe.org is 0.81a, but I have version 0.90 beta 10 installed - and I cant remember where I got it from..

BTW. Happy New Year all! :)

Regards,

Will McGugan
