As Andreas and Martin already stated, it IS possible to send data to just one 
client, so the other clients don't know anything of it. It's just that you 
cannot use the property classes, but have to design a "protocol" of your own. 
This protocol can be VERY easy, since the server and the client know exactly 
the type of data expected.
So don't give up so early, KGame can still do a good job for you. :-)

Bye,
