Ok I have a major problem i been coding my game and it was all going well till i got into the making a server and database part for it. I have the client and stuff coded now i need the server coded which i can code the functions of the game but i have NO clue were to even start when it comes to making a database and adding sockets to forms so on. I ran my own WoW server at one point in time and i have ran a few 2dMUD servers. I know that on the WoW it used SQL and on the 2dmuds it had a form that loaded out of folders such as Images, Room, Items, Players, ect. I was told to use sockets since sockets are supireor to trying to run winsock since its not realy part of .net. I have a vb 2010 txt book called step by step i have been reading and using but i cant seem to figure out anything when it comes to the sockets part and database stuff. I guess my question is can anyone dumb it down for me to were even a noob like me can understand it? I know its a lot to ask for and im not asking anyone to program it for me because i REALY want to learn how to do it but i kinda need a .net sockets for dumbies or something. If anyone has the spare time to teach me i would greatly appreiciate it. Ty.
