Simulation advice

[John Hunter]

Hi All,

My son need to do a project where he has 2 computers connected, on each is a drawing of a house. when he presses certain keys on the master computer a part of the house on the other computer would change to red, is this possible, and if so what software would he need?.

Thx,

John

Is it possible? Yes.

Communication can be by serial cable or TCP/IP. The remote computer has a graphic window open and acts as the server. The master computer uses a graphic window and WAITKEY$ inside a LOOP. When a key (other than the one for exit) is pressed, it sends a message to the server. Then you just have to PAINT the result on both sides.
