Connect over net

[DanielS1324]

I wrote a program to act as a chess clock. I would like to give a copy to somebody else. If your familiar with a chess clock, you know that when you make a move, you stop your time... and stopping your time starts your opponents time.

I would like for the program to connect to his computer so that when he stops his time, the program on my machine will act accordingly. And when I stop my time, his will start. We can see each others time.

I'm ok with programming, but no idea when it comes to connecting over the net.

If I could learn to send maybe 1 character at at time over the internet, I could go from there.
