Multiplayer with my Game

TannerWord

Hey guys.... I wanna add online multiplayer in my game where player one can play the game, and player 2 watch. After player 1 dies, then its players 2 turn and player 1 watches, and whoever gets the farthest wins. How can I achieve this in my game?
I appreciate the help!

My game I wanna add multiplayer to is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordstudios.pandemonium

it's going to take years with gamesalad

Why should it take years? GameSalad comes with all the tools to make this happen....
it just wont be realtime, but everything else is doable....

All you need in addition is an Server with a more or less recent PHP, a Database (e.g. SQL)
and a basic knowledge of JSON.

You can even "fake" some realtime by parsing several times per second... i did this in other projects and it works just fine. This depends on your server.

Just don't try to "convert" an existing single player game into an multiplayer one... because THIS ends up in an nightmare.

Also it sounds like @TannerWord just wants to be able to pass the device back and forth between two people in the same location to me. If that is the case, you can do that no problem now.

No, I want it online multiplayer so you can play with two devices. I take a turn, then you take a turn and see who lasted the longest.

Oh okay, I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.
