Ok im 100% new at this trying to build a server stuff. I have made applications befor that didnt need servers that was just forms and buttens and stuff but making a game kinda needs a server. I know i need to have 2 winsocks on the server form but thats about it... I know its a lot to ask for but could anyone show me how to design a server that could handle at least 200ppl at a time running threw a MUD style game at any one time without lagging? I would like most of the game info to be read on server side so my client isnt able to be hacked easaly.... I hope i said most of this correctly and if i didnt im sorry. Ill explain more in depth if need be.
