"Started a project with a friend, where we design a Client/Server application and have AI wars. Yes, I know. Exciting. Basically it works like this:
A server is written, that has games which can be played. Depending on the game you want to play, you pick a client (We're making people write their own clients) and use TCP/IP sockets (internet) to connect to it. Games are simple like Tic-tac-toe, connect 4, etc...
If two people connect, they can play against one another, etc. But here's where the REAL dorkdom comes in. We're writing AI's that will compete against one another. So, insted of playing against your friend, you're playing against his computer made player. Yes, yes... I know, I'm a huge fucking dork. I don't need any reminding, but at least I'm having some fun with this crap I'm learning."
What language and platform did you write it in? C or something. Sounds cool regardless. I've started developing so many games but I always get caught up in a new idea and never finish... maybe someday.
The server was VB6, the Client was in VB.Net and I wrote one in C#. I don't know enough Win32 or MFC programming to make a pretty C++ client. I could make a text based C++ or C one but why bother. heh

I went out St. Patricks day, but it was pretty damn lame.
