That would allow us to create turn based games or maybe even real time depending on bluetooth performance without need of 3G or WiFi.

If you can do bluetooth keyboard input, I can make a widget for iCade support for you all and that'd guarantee us all more sales! ;-)
\o/ Bluetooth Keyboard, iCade and Onlive Controller !
This would be great!Originally Posted by DistantJ
Can you explain further by example?
The send message would allow your to send a string, for example,
"1,m,1,2,7,8"
could be used to say: Player 1, Move object from 1,2 to 7,8 (Obviously with a little string parsing.
Is this what you're after?
Wouldn't bluetooth keyboards already be supported?
Since when you type something it would just be registered as a keystroke as if you were typing on the screen?
Crazy Ivan. Yes. But also get know who is host and who is receiver. Bluetooth ID.
I've got bluetooth keyboard at work so I could verify it. Some time this week. But not sure about iCade and Onlive controllers.
iCade (and I think the onlive controller, could be wrong) tricks iOS into thinking its a keyboard, either plugged in through the dock port or bluetooth.

I dont know how it can be made but my 2 main things would be:
send messages in realtime (chat...)
somehow everything around the active object for playing simple games like pong with each other (but honestly, i dont know if this can be done)
thx so far!
This should be a pretty basic feature to add
Could you please explain this further?

Possibly, but the keyboard extension is disabled when using the iOS runtime, so you can't detect key input unless you are working in an edit box, and you can't use an invisible, off-screen edit box as you wouldn't be able to set it as the focus and the on-screen keyboard would appear if you could.
Exactly, I'd read into this so if a bluetooth keyboard can be read without using edit box I can create an iCade support widget.
iCade would be invaluable for all of us because getting your game listed on 'iCade supported games' lists would guarantee sales from the iCade crowd who feel a little neglected by the big publishers and often pounce on something as soon as it appears on the lists.
