Yes, we would use the gamera, because we already used in our previous game and we really liked the library.

So, thank you for develop the gamera!

Just a small note: for exactly this I wrote lua-findserver. You can get it here https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/lua-findserver. It allows to automatically find the server in the local area network using UDP broadcasts. This of course, does not work if the computers are in different networks.

Nevertheless this is also only tiny part in the big adventure to create a multiplayer game.

It was the Zuli: http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=77467

Keep in mind that the game was developed with Löve 0.8.0, therefore some compatibility problems could occur with others Löve versions.

Coded a multiplayer test some month ago

client: a, d = move; space = jump; w=reset pos
server:mouse1=col obj; mouse2=no col obj; scroll= change grid; lshift=drag size obj

It looks really great, but we choose to use only local multiplayer in the game with which we are currently working on.
Maybe in future games we finally do a game with online multiplayer mode, but not for now.

Anyway, thanks for the tip Zeliarden.
