Yes, you will need to do some stuff with network streams. The only network games I've written were over LANs (my home network). That's a lot easier, since you don't have to worry about security issues (at least at my house Smile | :) ), and you don't have to worry about dynamic ip addresses and all that...

It is possible, but a little tricky. First, it's a good idea to do all of the network communications asyncronously (such as with a backgroundworker. I have a link to a vb source code I wrote to help me with developing a couple of network programs I wrote a while ago. It basically encapsulates all of the details of the network stuff in a class. You can take a look at it and how it works.

You can take a look at http://lance.mckendree.edu/~klschaefer/temp/NetworkHelper.vb[^]. As the name suggests, it makes doing network stuff a little easier, but feel free to learn how it works and expand on it. If you haven't done any network stuff at all, I would suggest making a simple chat program just so you can get something under your belt.

I would consider what I've done to be a server/client program, so one of the machines is designated as a "server" and the other as a "client", although beyond initially setting up the connection, that designation pretty much doesn't do anything: both can send and receive exactly the same.

Anyways, I hope this helps!
