Shell based game..

[Saintdog]

Well Im going to make a game thats text based like in a dos shell with commands and stuff, Its gonna be like d20 stats and based on fighting other people and stuff..

Well what would be the best thing to use for playing online against other people.. Im gonna use my computer as the server untill I make everything perfect then ill get it on a good connection and server..

My main question is would winsock suffice? or should I use somthing else, also if you guys have any links to tutorials about them..

I know winsock kinda from programming in Visual Basic..

Thanks for your time,

Winsock is enough. My suggestion is to use winsock APIs than the vb's winsock control. You have a bit of learning to do. But it will benifit later on. If you don't mind loosing some of the packets then you can use UDP. Otherwise TCP.
