I was reading the Blitz3D manual and found the direct play commands. How would I create a simple Multiplier game with direct play? It would just be a cube that you can control with other people that are also moving around. I hope this isn't TOO complex. :)

Your are better off using UDP than directplay...check the code archives there is a lot of stuff in there and multiplayer can be quite involved to put together...

We need a basic 3D UDP multiplayer code. We have all these 2D ones, but they don't help if you don't understand 2D. Personally, I understand 3D better.

Go to the German BB side and search for Simple UDP.
This is an excelent free lib for beginners to create UDP games.

Whats the difference between UDP and Directplay?
