I'm trying to create a very basic pong game with Java that can have two users on two different computers and one will be the host, or a computer can just be a host and the other two clients connect, well anyways, does anyone know a good website for Java networking tutorials? I have looked at this youtube video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFF0JRCFCH0

It was great, but at the end the code didn't work, and people also did comment saying they had the same problem. So i started to look at the docs.oracle website, it is very good, but there doesn't seem to be that much example code, just a lot of information. If anyone could point me at a java networking tutorial page that would be sweet, a related tutorial to game java networking would be even more spectacular :)

I did also look at http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3218/java_network_game_programming.php but the code isn't available anymore...

m.youtube.com/#/user/… this guy on YouTube teaches you how to make a game multiplayer... You may be able to watch them and change it to suit your own needs :) – Savlon Feb 2 at 21:37
Seems alrite, any other examples that are abit shorter, like a simple chat server that clients can connect and chat together? – Canvas Feb 2 at 21:42
