Abstract :
Over the past few years, multiplayer gaming experience has enhanced significantly and more developments are being done to improve the internet-based games. Even though many multiplayer games exist for the high-end mobile devices, majority of mobile phone users do not have access to them. Moreover, internet connectivity is not available in many places where a mobile phone network is present. This paper will discuss about implementation of a system consisting of several SMS or Text Message based multiplayer games which can be played between multiple platforms such as low-end phones, smart phones and personal computers.
