Playing Skip-bo over the Network
Social Network (wiki) | Java (wiki) - urs @ 21:43:11

Just found a java implementation of Skip-bo which should run over a network [1]. Never mind if the manual says that the game only works on Windows, I have it running on OS X too ;-)

$ java -cp skipbo.jar skipbo.SkipBo

... or start skipnet_de.jnlp with Java Webstart. To configure an intranet game worked like this:

- PC1: start a Skip-Server on your local IP e.g. 192.168.0.5
- PC1: enter a Nickname
- PC2: search manually for a Skip-Server and enter the server's address: 192.168.0.5
- PC2: enter a Nickname
