| Hello folks, hope you can point me in the right direction. I realise that TCP/IP is a vast topic, I am currently developing my skills with regard to BMax. I am interested in developing an appreciation of TCP IP / UDP - and thought it'd be nice to do this in tandem with developing my BMax skills. I have sifted through a few threads and the following seem like useful 'jumping off' points:- Link 1 http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=59847#667374 Link 2 http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=62117#694570 Link 3 http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=60822#678784 Link 4 http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=59515#664001 Link 5 http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=57586#641077 I have dabbled with B3D prior to using BMax, has anyone any experience regarding using B3D as opposed to BMax to develop their appreciation of TCP IP / UDP ? Any advice regarding suggested sites for developing a good grounding in networking protocols gratefully received..... Regards, |

| If you are more used to B3D currently, BNet and BNetEx, both modules by Vertex (one with OO, one more the B3D Function way), might be of interest as they give BM similar capabilities to those of the old Blitz which should make it easier to get a "base" to start off. There is even a funny 2 player online mario game like tutorial available for it. |

| Cheers Dreamora, will give it a whirl... |

| nothing better than experimenting on your own with networking (once you have a very basic understanding of course). Sending some junk data between computers is one thing. Implementing networking in the area of games gets to be a little overwhelming depending on what your goals are and how you approach them. There was a thread a few months ago (I think Wave did it, but I might be mistaken) that the author decided to post several networking tutorials. aha! found it: http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=59397 |
