What about coding a server, like MWS does and then randomly match players against eachother, might be able to work it out even more with rankings and so on making beginners match up with beginners, pro's with pro's (or if your a pro work your way up real quick to the pro rankings) etc etc.
The only thing Wagic needs to do is connect to the server, the server gathers the people and monitors the requests send and received from both sides (thus playing the game) and eventually announce a winner. It should be doable and it will increase the fun and challenge of the game dramaticly.

Re: Online Mode!
The only issue is that it is extremely boring for me to code a network library, and I code for fun...so that's why it takes time
Re: Online Mode!
@Wolo The fact that coding network libraries, setting up a hosting system, creating a login and password or ip based protocol (if you want to work with a ranking system, wich would be best, and if you want to keep track of who matched up with who etc. (and it will mostlikely end up as a login and password thing because tons of ppl have dynamic IP's so that's alot harder to code in) is mostlikely the reason your stuck with doing it and nobody else takes it off your hands lol it would seriously improve the fun of the gameplay though because you can test your skills against actual skilled players

Re: Online Mode!
Hi Wololo! As I said, cant you use the same library used on CSPSP? They have a very nice online system and I THINK the developer used a common network library (not coded by himself)
Re: Online Mode!
it would be great if you could point me to that library, I can't find anything like that in a "ready to use" state...
Re: Online Mode!
Well i guess what TheSolid is referring to is to download counterstrike psp version (CSPSP) and just rip the network library (google away can't find it right away myself since there main server seems to be for sale lol)

Re: Online Mode!
I can't find the source code for CSPSP is what I've been trying to say, I guess...
Re: Online Mode!
Oh, I checked their website and looks like they didnt publish their source code :/. Thats bad
Re: Online Mode!
Can't seem to find any source code for a premade network lib either, been googleing for a while

Re: Online Mode!
I remember that TripleTriadPSP had an online mode too. do you know if they released their source code?
