  • New Multiplayer Game: Connect 4 Online

    Posted on July 3rd, 2009 chris 13 comments
    Connect 4 Online is a multiplayer-enabled version of the classic “four in a row” game. The aim is to connect four pieces either horizontal, vertical or diagonal — before your opponent does! Enjoy worldwide multiplayer games with random opponents or in private rooms. A computer opponent with three difficulties is available for offline games, as well as a variable grid size! The game can be found in the market under "Games -> Brain & Puzzle -> By Date". s1s s5s s2s s4s
    The game connects to a simple threading TCP-Server written in python, which pairs new players, sends the game-signal and passes the game-stats around. A typical delay on a GSM network is just around 50 to 100 milliseconds; easily sufficient for a round-based multiplayer game. We have bundled the game with an android emulator (for linux and windows), so it's not even restricted to playing on the actual android devices. Anyone can download the bundle, unzip it and jump right into the game! :-D (The downside of this approach is that the bundle has to include qemu and the full android stack, counting up to ~ 40 MB) chart
