What is your experience, what latency/throughput do you need ?

GPL has Vroc and SpyBoy ... how do you find online games for SCGT ?

thx

A few of us have tried it online, but with mixed results:

1 on 1, ZERO AI, both using modems: seems ok, until you get close to each
other, then it gets jerky

1 on 1, 2 AI, both using modems: forget it

1 on 1, ZERO AI, one using modem other using cable: mixed results, but worse
than if bot using modems. Could be due to the vast differences in data rates
between analog modem and cable modem?????

3 or more human players, ZERO AI: horrible

So sadly this is not able to multiplay over the Internet (ASDL on all
players might work???), but then they already mentioned that in their readme
file.

The latency rates on cable modems are terrble. The data rate is amazing, but
the data has to wind its way through a bunch of proxy servers before it gets
where it's going and that ruins the latency.
