RE: [Plib-devel] Networking Code

[Ben W. <be...@bg...>]

Thanks Dave, 
 
Currently that is what I have been trying to do, just keep it simple, but I
am also trying to make sure that it runs in windows, linux, unix and mac.
And other then that just send and recieve. I am trying to keep it as simple
and general as possible. But thanks for sending it in for me, I will have a
look.
 
Later Ben

Hi Ben, 

In adding networking code to plib, I recommend keeping it simple like the
code you showed me from tuxkart.  We just need a portable way to setup a
connection.  The application code should be responsible for the rest.

A turn based game doesn't need dead-reckoning so setPos() probably doesn't
belong in plib proper.  Things like real-time state management or
match-making systems for finding opponents could be placed in an auxillary
library.
