I've been having fun making a multiplayer version of my game
https://msxgamesworld.com/software.php?id=6576
It seems to be working via serial interfaces

But ultimate goal would be to use TCP/IP via msx basic networking extension provided by GR8NET. Anyone out there with GR8NET adapter willing to test? The reason being just because we can :P
Thanks

I'm very interested in this.
I have been working on a online multiplayer game myself.
Could you explain a bit how you managed to do this ?

What part interests you ? The host collects client actions, calculates results and distributes them back to clients via serial connection for display. I think the only modification from serial to gr8net is the connection initialization part. All basic commands like input # and print# stay the same.
