MULTIPLAYER & POCKETPC - Same Executable. The PocketPC binary will execuate on a windows machine with the .NET Framework installed or a PocketPC with the .NET CF. It will allow you to connect over the internet or over a LAN to another person running the same executable. Play 'Pocket against Pocket' , 'Pocket against PC' , or 'PC against PC' !! Note: Comments are Appreciated! Specs of your machine are appreciated. Multiplayer Version Multiplayer In order to get Multiplayer working, you must follows these steps: Execute the binary on both machines and hit no to the Single player dialog. Note the IP Address of the host and relay this to the other player. Start the host connection for your LAN or over the Internet. If the 'Net' and 'LAN' IP addresses are the same, this client cannot host a game over the internet, but it can join a game hosted on the internet. If You are hosting over the internet, check the 'Net' readio button and press host. If Both machines are on a Local Area Network (LAN) either machine may host. After the Host is running, have the Client type in the IP Address into the box and press the Join button. Even if you are behind a firewall, you should be able to connect to a Host over the internet that is not behind a firewall. If both machines are behind a firewall, a connection cannot be made. If Both machines are behind the Same Firewall, connect using the LAN. Once the connection has been made, the Host will generate a board and send it to the joining player. The Host is the first player, who is in the bottom Left hand corner on both machines. The Host takes the first turn. The joining client's buttons are disabled until it is their turn The Client is the second player and their tiles are in the upper right hand corner After the game is finsihed, it tells you who won and asks you if you want to play again. Choose yes if you want to play again. If you are connected to a machine, then it will ask you if you would like to use the same connection to play another game.

Windows XP, SP1 works great. I can''t wait to see the PocketPC version, I carry my Dell Axim everywhere and it could use some new games.

Imagine having an online lobby with a chat room and challenge rooms with other players and an online ladder. That would be insane.

If the pocket PC version and Multiplayer go well enough in that contest, I might just do that.
