Does this mean you can't have more than one shoes app of any kind
running on the same machine? Please tell me that isn't so.
I assume this means the GUI only supports one app at a time.
Presumably you can invoke multiple apps from the command-line, which
would then run independently...

We have developed a multi-player networked game that currently works

I believe the problem may have something to do with how shoes manages
running 2 shoes apps simultaneously on one computer. It appears to
me
that there is only 1 shoes process running when I have 2 shoes apps
running on this computer. And, when 1 game enters a sleep state
while
waiting for the other game to make its move, I believe that the
single
shoes process goes to sleep.
I sure could be wrong about this diagnosis. But if I am right, can
you think of a way to force my two game instances to run in separate
shoes instances?
Do you have any other advice regarding what I am trying to do?
Development, testing, and demonstrations will be much easier if we
can
get 2 game instances to run on one computer.
