hi all..
i want to start creating a 3d multiplayer board game using irrlicht
but i'm just wondering if this is possible to do..
cause i've never done any multiplayer game programming before..

what i want to create is just a simple two-player board game, probably something like chess.. in 3d..

can anyone give me any advice about this? or maybe good reference? or any example?
really appreciate it..
thx..

Theres some examples with irrNetLite 2 for network programming. I hope you find them easy to understand, I did my best commenting them.

Check Warboard 3D as reference.

The demo out there is hotseat (two players in the same computer). Adding networking support should not be too complex, as turn based games do not have strict requirements like real time games.
