iPhone Bluetooth Multiplayer

Post by Sanshin77 »

Just wondering, why aren't more iPhone games using bluetooth multiplayer?I've seen a few, like tap tap metallica, SG mahjong and Blades of Fury, but they're too few...

I know almost nothing about the technology, but games like minigore, racing games and puzzle games would be awesome with multiplayer(preferrably without wifi)

Is it very hard to do bluetooth/wifi programming on the iPhone?
Can bluetooth transfer data fast enough - with enough stability for these kinds of games?

Minigore with 2 player co-op would be soo cool. :mrgreen:
(PS: Minigore is probably my fav iPhone game)
