Network SFML large projects
« on: February 03, 2015, 01:56:18 pm »
I can use the "API Network" of SFML for large projects? I do not know much about networking, if anyone has any tutorial on this subject, I will be grateful! :)
Example: Dota 2, League of Legends, Ragnarok.

What did I consider in a server with multiple players?

Sorry my english.

You question is quite ambiguous. Ragnarok is an MMO, and whilte Dota2 and LoL arent, they are still network-heavy regardless.

If you dont know much about networking, then you need not worry about this sort of network usage. But in short, probably not. The network module of SFML is sufficient for an intermediate level of networking. When you get into MMOs and network-heavy applications, you should look at engineering your own networking libraries.

Not to mention the known bugs in the SFML network module :-(

In the end all you need are sockets and SFML provides them. The hard part is implementing your own protocols etc.
Then again other libraries such as asio can make things a bit easier.

Learn about networks in general first. I mean you probably don't even know when the usage of UPD or TCP is appropriate. Without such very basic knowledge you shouldn't try to go further. ;)

There's plenty of resources about networking in your local book library or online.

About using the UPD and TCP I know. And speaking of the same subject, how can I make a connection with them? In order to send UDP and TCP for the same player in SFML?

And I will start reading about network and protocols. Very thanks for all. :)
