Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

Develop a game app that can play CO-OP online with friends at the same time

Is it possible to program a game on the iphone that you can connect with friends and play co-op together as a team live? I have an idea for an app that could make millions it's just very complicated. Maybe players create usernames and connect with other usernames live and share data? Is this even possible to play together?

    Of course it is. You can either build your own server or you can use Game Center. Or you can connect the user to nearby iPhone devices using Bluetooth or WiFi. Then you just send packets between the devices to communicate the changes in game state on the different devices and sync it all up. This can get very complicated and difficult to debug though, so be sure to spend a fair amount of time studying what you will need to do, and have a very clear idea of how your code will communicate across devices, before you get too deep! Adding this stuff retroactively can be very difficult.
