Title: Can i do this?
Post by: ranar on August 04, 2013, 04:12:27 am

I have a project using Irrlicht engine and c++ it is a fps game and i needed a networking lib and i found this.

1. Could this send player rotation position, bullets, vehicles.
2. How easy is it to integrate into another already done project?
3. I have no prior knowledge of working with networking am i still good.
4. I'm new to using code::blocks i used MS VS C++ 2008 before but does anyone use this on c:b or can tell me how to recompile lib etc?

Those are my main question right now

1. You can send what you want.
2.3. SFML in itself is easy to add. But making a real time networked game is always hard if you know nothing. Adding networking to an already done local solo game is even harder.
4. Using SFML with C::B, and recompiling is covered in the official tutorials.

I forgot to mention this is for a 3d game, so hopefully it will not change anything. So far i think it will work but, do any of you suggest any good tutorials? I cant imagine there is one aimed at games?
