    This is known as a RAT (remote access tool), I used to build them into my apps for ease of support.

    Look here for code on capturing bitmaps / screens (I have posted this code before). It will show you how to get the current image on the sceen and convert it to a bitmap.

    Then you only have the problem of getting that code to run on the other machine, connect and send the bitmap to your machine and display the bitmap (which is against the rules on this site).

    Bear in mind that direct access to the hardware framebuffer is restricted. You can copy back into system memory to do your comparison but this will affect the FPS. If your game is a strategy game then you might be able to get away with it.
