Systems to share own maps:
Solution 1:
The player who start the game, upload his map to a master server. The other player can download it there. Should be the easiest methode to implement. It should be upload the map automatically by opening a multiplayer game, the player has only to accept the upload. Notification via pop up. The other player get also automatically a notification if they want to download the map, if not the will be kicked out of the game.
Solution 2:
The player who start the game, send his map to another player, who take part on the game. Then both send the map to the next players, it's like an avalanche or torrent. So it's easy to share maps to lot of players, wothout having a master server.
P=Player
* P1 to P2 | needed time: 30sec.
* if ready
o P1 to P3 and P2 to P4 | needed time: 60sec./1Min.
o Ready
+ P1 an P5, P2 an P6, P3 an P7, P4 an P8 | needed time:90sec./1Min 30sec.
+ Ready, every Player has the map.
If the map is splitted it will be much more faster.
