Well, my first attempt was to use a direct socket connection, because my use case is primary at home within the same network. Then my thoughts went into the direction to use a server and communicate with the server using a JSON API which lead me to web sockets because of the lack of polling. As you see, it's straight forward :P

What I want to create is a networked memory game. An extended version of the sample and to be able to play with at least two players (in the first version).

@ccc From the uuid.getnode() docs:

Get the hardware address as a 48-bit positive integer. The first time this runs, it may launch a separate program, which could be quite slow. If all attempts to obtain the hardware address fail, we choose a random 48-bit number with its eighth bit set to 1 as recommended in RFC 4122. “Hardware address” means the MAC address of a network interface, and on a machine with multiple network interfaces the MAC address of any one of them may be returned.

(on Unix systems, it usually launches ifconfig to determine the MAC address, which isn't possible on iOS, so it falls back to the random 48-bit number)

If you search the forums for UDP you will also find someone who controlled a RC tank using UDP.
