    Is there a tool or a very easy way to have co-op online?

    I had this idea of constantly uploading and download a .txt file with the information about the other players movements, but I don't think that is the best way to do it... Any ideas on how to do this? Or was my idea fine?

    UDP protocol, and a server client model.
    Software I use and highly recommend: Opera, Miranda IM, Peerblock, Winamp, Unlocker Assistant, JoyToKey, Virtual CloneDrive, Secunia PSI, ExplorerXP, GOM Player, Real Alternative, Quicktime Alternative,Sumatra PDF, and non-freeware: Photoshop and VB6().
    My codebank: AllRGB, Rounded Rectangle(math), Binary Server, Buddy Paint, LoadPictureGDI+, System GUID/Volume Serial, HexToAsc, List all processes and their paths, quasiString matching
    Strings(search, extraction, retrieval etc): Retrieve BBCode Link from HTML, RemoveBetween ()'s, strFindBetween(str1,str2), Insert text in HTML, HTML - GetSpanByID

    No, like a chat program. UDP or TCP. Look at some winsock threads in the VB6 & Networking forums. Find a simple winsock tutorial that explains UDP & TCP, their advantages and disadvantages

    No, the communication used between chat programs. That's what you may want to consider

    Is there any way, for the user to put in a like number or something, and give that number to the other user, to connect? Insead of having to have the ip address or computer name?
