Scratch

For multiplayer games, I myself, would not go with Mesh, but use Scratch's Remote Connections ability and program in a different language mainly because Mesh's current stuff means all broadcasts are sent out which could cause miss communications between sprites and same goes for the variables ( unless they are sprite only ).

But either way, if you would like some help, I'd be willing. I can go through the code and find bugs and give ideas on how to solve certain problems.

Although this is a very good idea, I think you should save it until mesh would be much easier, i.e. Scratch 2.0.

I personally have my doubts on whether there will be multiplayer support in Scratch 2.0. It doesn't seem to be a high priority for them, at least for now.

@fg123: Do you have a link to that project?

How about my pong with a modern touch? It's only got three sprites that will be required to have data transmitted; the two bats and the ball.

line tennis would also be good, I agree. Although I'm rubbish at it 

Let me think... Line Tennis? Line Wars? My 2 player Pong  game I made with my friend (back in the days of being a New Scratcher)?

I've recently been working on some mesh projects and getting good at understanding how it works, and I'm thinking about turning some popular Scratch Projects that require 2 players, and turning them into mesh projects.

I'm not sure which ones to choose of course, so I want to ask you, the community. What are some of your favorite multiplayer projects? Preferably I'm looking for ones that are simple but fun, however I would prefer if there were as few required "shared sprites" as required. For example, the main character would be a shared sprite in most projects, since the other character would have to be able to see where your character is. However a menu would not, since a player would not need to share the menu with the other player.

Hopefully the results will be fun to play. 

There's a really simple project by Team-SAK, Shootout.  Here.
