I actually tested GiderosUnite with Mobile Hotspots and it worked as expected (with multiple mobiles phones connected to same Mobile Hotspot communicating with each other), so I really can't imagine what the problem might be.
BTW @atilim how does Gideros Player retrieve interface's IP address for Gideros Studio to connect to?
When the device is connected to the router or the one that share/create wifi tethering, it's not a problem, method getIP in Unite.lua return the valid wifi interface IP address.
Is there some tricks to solve this?
Dislikes: unami
Could you (or anyone) check the scenarios with the connection problems?
At the end, it would be possible to create a multiplayer game between two anonymous end users ?
Is the Unite framework the best one we could use or is there another better?
Thanks.

Unite framework was mostly tested in Local Area Networks and is working fine (at least I could not reproduce any problems), theoretically it could work with central server, but was not tested to do so.
update: It seems to work.. i downloaded this:

and pasted socket.lua in

cool stuff btw.
Fragmenter - animated loop machine and IKONOMIKON - the memory game
(I use it for virtual joypad code - so that multiple players can play on the same screen)

Fragmenter - animated loop machine and IKONOMIKON - the memory game
i guess maybe i have to change the ip of e.g. the client when doing new(config)? can i change it to anything? or what should i change it to? or some other way? thanks.
Fragmenter - animated loop machine and IKONOMIKON - the memory game
and what if i don't know beforehand if the 2 apps are on the same pc or on different pc/phone/etc. on the network?
i tried setting the server like this, but it did not work:
serverlink = Server.new({username = 'myServer',ip='127.0.0.1'})

I don't know if it would work with external ip address, like get the ip address of device and connect multiple local apps to same ip and communicate between them. Unfortunately not sure if it would work.
thanks a lot for your help.

But I already forgot most of that now. It was always the part I did not want to get my hands dirty with
What if you use DrawTogether example and open two Gideros player windows and try to run them, one as server, other as client. Would it work?
But from Gideros Unite point of view, it should work as long as one is server and other are clients. You could try to do the same with two desktop exported DrawTogether windows, or one exported, one player could also work
even if you can let me know a set up which works ONLY when both apps are on the same computer, that would be a great start, as in worst case the user will have to choose if he wants samepc-connection or regular connection.

I think for that case you would need to set both server and clients to same IP address, you can try it with 127.0.0.1.
And force clients to connect to server without discovery, but directly using serverIP 127.0.0.1
stack traceback:

is there any chance that samepc client can also be discovered automatically? (by changing unite a bit or setting something something else)
or do i definitely need to add different choice for user if he wants samepc or network connection?
or perhaps i can try both at the same time and then if one of them succeeds then i cancel the other? this way the user does not need to care about chosing. is this possible with unite? i.e. to make more servers at the same time.
Fragmenter - animated loop machine and IKONOMIKON - the memory game
if you can, then you discovered local server, if not there is no local server
If you can add it to discovery process, you could offer local server on same pc too in discovery dialog

if i close a server then on the other clients a onServerClose event should fire; it does not seem to happen for me (same problem for client+onClientClose)
