            Abstract : 
This paper introduces a two-layer UDP datagram-based network communication framework for developing online mobile games. The communication mechanism consists of a physical layer and a data-link layer with a unified interface. A standalone two-player mobile game, such as a chess game and the like, can be easily plugged on to the communication framework to become a corresponding online version.
