Network Programming

The application must demonstrate: • a simulated world containing two or more moveable objects, at least one of which must be controllable by the user; • network communication between machines (running either multiple copies of the same program, or two or more different programs); • synchronisation of objects' positions between the machines, so that all machines are capable of showing a consistent view of the game world; • using appropriate prediction and/or interpolation techniques to maintain smoothly- synchronised movement even when the network connection is affected by latency. This application may run on any operating system or platform. You may use external libraries, provided these are clearly acknowledged and don't prevent you from demonstrating the required skills.
