Hey

is there a possibility to use asynchronous sockets in sfml?

You can switch a socket to non-blocking mode.

There's no built-in mechanism for asynchonous sockets, you'll have to build it yourself with threads if you really need it.

For implementing asynchronous sockets I would need a win32 interface what makes things more complicated... or is there a possibility to catch the window notifications from the network card (fd_read, fd_write, ...) while using sfml rendering windows?

What about Boost.Asio?

You're right nexus, I totally forgot about boost.asio (I did never use it before...) I think, I'll give it a try
