i want to improve my programming ( or get back to my programming after a bit of an occupational detour).
i want to create a simple 2 player game, like pong, where there is constant action (in this case, the ball moving).i want to be able to play this between two computers, linked by a server. my aim is to write the server to allow the two pc's to play the game and the client to be on each pc. how do i link the 2 client apps, and keep the ball in the same place on the screen in each client? does it involve constant sending of data?
would i be better to go through the server or just use the server to link the two clients?
has anyone any examples i may look at or tutorials?
thanks all
