I like this idea, the UI is fast and nice to use.
I built something similar. The idea was to be able to play multiplayer games with people nearby. My motivation was simply to enable face to face two player games as the easiest option. The trickiest part, which I never coded up, was to be able to include people who are further away if there is no-one nearby, otherwise the game became unplayable without a cooperating partner.
I think this family of ideas, connecting to nearby people easily, has real legs.
Code lives on here.

Comes with a built in tankwars multiplayer demo. Alas the URL to the demo no longer works as I shut down the server that was running it. If anyone wants to try it out I would happily get it running again.
Edit: Are you a New Zealander? I am from NZ myself, always keen to hear from Kiwi hackers.
