I have made this game for Mac OS, but I realised that i need to make it better with multiplayer.
Im an experienced Cocoa developer (so please, no RTFM’s) but for some reason I never even touched on networking. I was wondering how I could send game date from com1 to com2, and vice versa, over different wifi networks.
Cheers, Conor
Edit: When I say different wifi networks, I mean no bonjour. I want to be able to play the game in the US with a guy in china!
I can just copy my answer from this question 🙂
MAC IOS IPC: how to write P2P applications in MAC and IOS?
Apple Bonjour is the way to go:

– http://www.mobileorchard.com/tutorial-networking-and-bonjour-on-iphone/
Especially the sample project from the last link might be useful.
Quin (multiplayer tetris game) also uses Bonjour for example:
