MultiPlayer Support

by George Balla · in iTorque 2D · 10/24/2011 (10:41 am) · 6 replies

Have v1.5 and after reading the documentation that comes with the software I
can't find any information on MultiPlayer.

Is Multiplayer supported?

I am not talking turn based, realtime up to 4 players.

forgive me if I do not know what I am talking about here, but if you are talking, simple touch based controls, why would it not?

Thanks rennie for reply.

What I am looking for is iPhone A connects to iPhone B and establishes a two way connection. So, if the app
was a racing game each person on their iPhone would be able to race against each other in realtime.

oh. that I am not sure on. I was thinking using the same device. preferably on an iPad. Two tops for iPhone.


I believe there was a major multiplayer announcement a while back, but I believe that was for TGB. I am not sure if it can be applied to iTGB.

Good luck.

Officially no, there is no multiplayer support.
You could implement GameKit networking though that gives you internet based multiplayer games as well as adhoc local multiplayer.


As for the TGB Multiplayer announcement: Do you potentially talk about the T2D Realtime Multiplayer announcement in 2010? I don't recall any beyond that and all the things mentioned back then later lost their meaning as the whole plan was changed after the IA breakdown etc as far as I got from other blogs

Yes. I just remember a huge posting on it, as it was big news for GG.

I'm working on getting out a resource for turn-based multiplayer through GameKit, but it won't cover realtime, unfortunately.
