Would it be difficult to make a cross platform(iOS and Android) online chess variant as a start

to networking?

I know a lot of that is dependent about technical aptitude and what not, but I just want know if it sounds viable just given that information. I would assume it's easier because straight forward in terms of gameplay and that it being turn-based helps as well, but is this something that is more difficult than it sounds?

Thanks!

 

I've done split platform mp between pc, webplayer, and android no problem. I've not tried iOS but I figure it's doable. Now that 5x allows all users to use sockets and stuff you could theoretically create a very complex networking base that could communicate between any platforms.

Edit: but basic rpc calls and client to client would work fine for this purpose as well...
