Title: Multiple clients
Post by: rgrant1993 on August 03, 2013, 08:32:31 pm

I have found a tutorial on how to do multiple clients with SFML, but even i can see that the developer was lost in their own code. :)

I have crossed SFML documentation stating how to connect to multiple clients, but i strongly believe that it was for a earlier version of SFML. So how can we implement several clients to a server?

I suppose this would also be known as socket selectors?

Yes, you can use SocketSelectors to read from multiple clients at once, but you don't have to. They just make things easier.
The documentation provides example code:

Alternatively, you could just store your client sockets in a list and call receive on each of them.
