fiorina Junior Member Offline Posts: 51	network mouse input? Sep 21st, 2009, 3:36am   hello, i am wondering about the possibility of two mice interacting with a sketch over the internet. ie if you wanted to make a simple game of tic tac toe, where each player uses a mouse, but is potentially in two different locations (ie LA and NY), is it possible?
