Neetwork

[Abel]

How do I do to make a game that I can play over network.
Anyone got any idea

[parksie]

You could always use DirectPlay if you don't know what the protocol is. I usually use the Winsock control and a TCP/IP network. Just send information on a specific high-number port.

use winsock to send the variables such as position and scores over the network. Ports over 2024 are safe I think.

Why not on a lower port?

[parksie]

A lot of the lower ports are already accounted for, and I think there are security limitations on some of them.

[oetje]

I thought only a few:
Port 80 - http
... - ftp
... - mail
Can't remember the rest
