I am using dev C++ on windows and I would like to know how to use sockets.
It supposed to be simple but I guess it's not a small issue so I'll explain what I am traying to do:
I build the game x mix drix and I would like to add "online playing" option.
I am sure you all know this game so what do I need to know? and where should I start?
Thanks (:

I believe this is the best tutorial.

I think you need to learn about structs and a passing variables as pointers first, since I have seen you struggle with those concepts in your posts. Understanding how basic things works is essential to get further in programming.

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

I do know structs and pointers I just don't use them (maybe pointers sometimes..)
Anyway I'll check those issues again.
Humm thanks fo the link but with what should I begin with?

Reading the first page of the guide that I linked, perhaps?Originally Posted by gavra

What it means? ( "HTML" "PDF" and "postscript" )
gavra.
If you want to read it online, use the HTML version. If you want to read/print it locally, then PDF version is probably what you want. If you have Linux and want to print it locally, you can also use the postscript version.

ohh lol kk [:
Thank you very much.
gavra.
Humm how can I say it.. maybe "WTF?" 85 pages???!?!?!??!?! damnn
Should I know everything? ><"
I tend to be lazy somethimes.. XD
gavra.
only 85 pages? hmm, maybe it doesnt go into too much detail.
LOL you guys are crazy
It's just one subject (my all book is less then 500)
gavra.
And you can probably find a couple of books on "how to program with sockets" that are about 500 pages each too. It's not an entirely trivial subject, so 85 pages will be a short description of the most important aspects, not a complete setup.

I have a book that is 1200 pages long that is just about the protocols used on TCP/IP. I think 85 pages is a pretty compact tutorial. If you dont like to read, you are probably going to have a hard time in programming.
Oh, and sanity is for people that can't handle going a little crazy in order to solve a problem. Some of my most brilliant code was written while i was stark raving mad.
Ok you both convinced me (1200 pages??!?!?! just TCP/IP?!?)
I do like to read but I have my reasons this time.
Thanks I'll work on it.
