    Well it depends on the game requirements but in general the answer would be yes.

    Winsock would be a good method. Using Winsock and WebBrowser makes a good combination using the browser for animation.


    Anything I post is an example only and is not intended to be the only solution, the total solution nor the final solution to your request nor do I claim that it is. If you find it useful then it is entirely up to you to make whatever changes necessary you feel are adequate for your purposes.

    If that is what you meant then why did you ask if it could be done with VB6?

    Also you should know that one set of the Winsock methods is TCP so there is no answer to this question.
