help ive got a multiplayer game which connects fine, although when it comes to moving the 2D sprites on the screen they are not updated on the other players pc, any suggestions on how i could use memblocks to change the position of one sprite on the other players computer.

thanks for your help

The flow of logic is fairly straight forward.

1. You move your sprite.
2. You send a message to the other machines that your sprite has moved.
3. The other players look for your message and when they get it they update the sprite on their machine that matches yours.

The message can be a string or a memblock. A memblock has the advantage of gaurenteed delivery, if selected. The downside is that they are harder to write than strings.
