Hey guys, so I am attempting to work on a Server -> Multiple client based application. Right now I have it set up so I can send each client messages from the server application. The only problem is my program won't continually accept connections. Right now it is set up to accept a connection, I can say a message to that client and then I can connect another client.
I have been working off the CodingMadeEasyTutorials, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Basically I guess what I am asking is how do I continually check for new connections and be able to type from the server at the same time? Do I need to already have to set up some sort of login server?
Any help would be appreciated.
