Hello All,
I'm in the middle of programming a text based adventure game and was thinking how nice it would be to make it multiplayer. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to go about this? So, I have a few questions:
1. Is there any sample code I can use as an example?
2. Are there any good books to read to accomplish this?
I think I want to start off small by creating the program to initialize the game, accept connections and be able to communicate to each other in a chat-like environment. Then start the game and know what I need to know to ensure the game is synchronized between the two computers (possibly more).
Edit: I'm also wondering if I'm going to make this a multiplayer game, will I have to start over with my code? Or can I just finish my game as a single player game, then add the required code to make it multiplayer later?
