    The internet and C ++, is it possible?

    I was wondering if it is possible to hook a C++ game up to the internet to allow multiple users to paly at once. Is their a semi-easy way to do this?

    Well, I supposed you could get a book and learn how to write for TCP/IP yourself. Or purchase a library, or perhaps download a free one.

    Yes it is possible, in fact you can do and only have to add about 60 lines of code to your source. But, alas, I don't know what you are doing and won't be specific. Look up some winsock tutorials.

    I agree with this. In addition when you think about it, your web browser was written in C++, the real question is whether or not the interent is possible without C++.
