just a few things to make lan games easier and better.
Have a 'input player name' after choosing network game from menu, instead of always going to settings etc. Easier for when lots of people use the same game app.
The lan game creator doesnt need to actually play the game, eg. dedicated game server on a lan, where clients can come and go as they please. Also multible game rooms running from the same server.
A lan game searcher, so that clients dont need to know the ip of the game they are connecting to. Client also should show how many people are in the game room, and who is playing!
***
It would be great to set up a few game rooms running 24/7 on our main server, or a unused good pc on our lan, then at any time, people can just jump on a pc anywhere on the lan, automatically see the game they want to join and the people they want to play with, then play.
If you want to get fancy, the server could also remember the players stats, money etc for every time they log in, so server can set weekly winners, best average gamer etc and reset every week etc.. and players get a tag next to their name or something cool to show off.
