Hi Peter,

Yep I used a central server. This means that additional traffic over a channel that you will most likely be charged for traffic but it allows me to do things like attach messages to a point in space (which I think will be a killer feature for Bubbles!)

Of course this approach introduces scalability issues but if I ported the backend to something like Google App Engine it should be sweet

Bubbles! has been popping up in a few places on the web so hopefully it catches the judges attention and I get into the top 50.

I’m not sure if you want to give technical details, but if you want, I’m very interested in technical details. I was thinking about a similar submission, but realised I didn’t have time to implement it. Did you find a way to let Android phones talk directly to eachother? Bluetooth? Or do you send the coordinates to a central server and let that one figure it out?

btw good luck with the entry!
