2player snake-like game

[knot]

Hi ,

I made a java clone of this old game 'achtung die kurve'.
You can find it  here , the original game is included in the zip file.

Now I would like to be able to let 2 players play against each other over the internet.

But I really don't have a clue on how to implement this, and which logic should be at client/server etc  

I guess I need the Client to send to the server which keys are pressed, and the Server should send to the Client the positions of each player?  :-/

Any help/tutorial would be greatly appreciated

For a fast-paced game like good old nibbles.bas, I think doing that in a network is EXTREMELY difficult up to impossible!

I cannot see any possibilities to hide latency bigger than a few milliseconds there.

Very close to impossible, I tried a very similar thing with my light cycle clone. Its not really playable across the internet. You might want to say LAN only
