Really Simple Multiplayer Client Library

Whats RSM?

RSM stands for Really Simple Multiplayer [Library], a library for built Ludum Dare games. RSM's a Java based library that when finished will allow anyone to quickly and easily add multiplayer support to a Java game. RSM's not meant to be the be all and end all of multiplayer libraries and in fact will support only barebones feautres. However, RSM will be super light weight, easy to use and deployable in minutes, not hours (crucial for Ludum Dare).
