If you know how, please say.

You might be able to use mesh, but it would be very hard to program. By the way if you don't know what mesh is, just search "mesh tutorials" in the search bar.

Mesh is actually kinda simple.

You could just have two people on the same keyboard.

try scratch connections:

Yeah, like one could be arrow keys, and the other could be WASD.

He said ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD xD So unless you somehow have a giant keyboard in which someone in China and someone in the US can be in the same keyboard, I think that's not what he meant xD

If he doesn't want our help, then just ignore it.

If he hates it, we're just trying to help. We it's not like we're destroying the info to make this game

REVISION:

Mesh technically has no limits on what networks are used - you can use mesh to connect two people on other sides of the planet.  However, because it needs a direct IP address link, this is impossible to achieve directly, as IP addresses can only communicate if they are on the same LAN (local area network).  LAN's are usually confined to having the same WIFI access point, but can also use wires to achive a direct link.

Fortunately, there is a way to circumvent the LAN IP address restrictions: the internet.  If a master server was established with an official IP address on the open net, anybody could access and transmit data with it (which is how other MMOs function).  However, the biggest problem is actually getting a scratch program to function with mesh enabled on a web URL.  As far as I know, this has never been accomplished.

So basically, no.  As of yet, we don't have a way to link two computers with mesh unless they are on the same LAN.
