You'd need a centralized server. I don't know if AppGameKit has the necessary networking commands for even the client side.

its easy, only HostNetwork for Server and JoinNetwork for client.
the rest are send/receive messages.

I'm working on something similar right now. My next game needs to allow up to 4 players to chat. I can post what I have at the end of the week and you should be able to build upon it fairly easily.

I use a server with PHP and MySQL for transfer of the chat messages.
So you will need access to a server. I'm just using XAMPP on my home PC until the game is ready to launch.

Naphier, that is one method that doesn't require having a PC or Mac somewhere running an AppGameKit network host app. And a good one, I think, for anyone who has access to a web server.

The other method is running an AppGameKit app acting as the host on a PC or Mac that is visible. This would be using the MultiPlayer commands. This method is a bit trickier because the hosting computer would likely be in someone's home or office.

Here's a link to the code for the framework for a server based app that can do this.
