Adding 'Collaboration' to an activity

[Julius B. Lucks]

Hi All,

I am working on Kuku Anakula (Hungry Chicken), which is an  
educational quiz game for the XO (see wiki.laptop.org/go/Kuku).  In  
the game, a quiz question is posed in the upper left corner of the  
screen.  The player (a chicken) moves around a grid, with each grid  
square containing a possible answer.  The goal is for the player to  
move to and 'eat' the correct answers for the posed questions.

Currently, Kuku is only a one-player game.  We would like to expand  
to multiple players on expanded grids - either in competition with  
each other, or working together to progress through the quiz  
questions.  Kuku is written in pygame.

Is there a standard way for activities to implement collaborative  
elements such as this?  Are their standard API's for exchanging data  
between XO's?

I appreciate any information that could help me get started.

Cheers,

Julius
