Online games for SIP Communicator

By definition, a Buddy List gathers all your buddies (friends, family, coworkers, and others) in a single window. Why not using this information to easily setup and play little online games with your friends? By clicking on a contact, one could choose a game to play with the selected buddy, and enjoy a short java multiplayer game.

Used in conjunction with Instant Messaging or Voice-over-IP, those little games could be a nice feature to SIP Communicator. The goal of this project is first, to think about how to integrate such a feature in SIP Communicator, and then to implement a new or integrate an existing java multiplayer game (the choice of the game is up to the student) as a plugin for SIP Communicator.
