Hi,
I'm trying to write a game which I hope to be able to play between my wife's laptop and my own computer, on the same home network, and possibly also with my granddaughter, Bobba Mintin (we all like mints !) who lives fifty or so miles away and maybe with others, thus far the game has the option for up to six players.
I have no idea at all how to go about writing the comunication for this project, I've had no success finding information on handshaking.
Before I go much further with the project, I ought to make sure that I don't have to re-write great chunks of it in order to accomodate communication, so I'd apreciate a pointer as to where to look and what to look for.
