It was a long road, but the 2-player online for Fungicide is off the ground, even if just barely. A number of errors and bugs are still around, especially around the end of a game, but it's functional. The refining comes next.
The version up here doesn't have the multiplayer capability yet. I have a bit more testing to do before I put it up. I can tell you how it works, though.
Over LAN, all is well. The Host has an IP, and the Guest uses that IP to connect. They can then play a little 5 minute game of Killing Spree. It was quite entertaining, with my cousin helping me to do some tests. Everything seemed to sync up well, and the experience was great.
Over the Internet? I have no idea. I haven't had any chance to test that out, but it probably catches fire.
Through that testing, I learned a lot about my game. First, working together makes things easier. Second, having a partner easily doubles the entertainment value.
A lot of work remains, but things are progressing well.
I expect to have a working multiplayer version available here by Sunday.
