I've been mulling over how one would go about creating a P2P system (like BitTorrent is for files) for playing multiplayer games. The idea is to remove the traditional server from the multiplayer architecture. I understand that some sort of server may...

With P2P you would lose both of those things, then you could probably use P2P ... .

I have some experience making multiplayer turn-based games using sockets, but I've never attempted a realtime action game. What kind of extra issues would I have to deal with? Do I need to keep a history of player actions in case lagged players do something...

I would be careful about doing some of this stuff on casual games since if your gameI don't think you should do anything to stop cheating on single player games.
