Weeblinator aka Mapster	I want to try and make a orpg where you are able to walk around and kill creatures where other people can join in and play as well. I don't have a server or anything but what i do have is a MYSQL server up and running which i have gotten working before when the maplestory private servers came out, but i couldn't figure out how it finds the values of everything then changes it when an action is performed. Does anyone know how to receive the information off a MYSQL server via c++ so people can play na online game i na console application? Cheers, Weebl

Gibberstein Generic Coder Type Thing	Tangentsoft.net That's the library that does mysql access from C++. You'll need to know SQL - if you don't, there are tutorials out there, but if you are going to be doing a lot of database work I'd go out and buy a good book. Database theory is weird until you know the reasons why it is set up like it is, which is why I believe most free tutorials won't be very useful. You want to learn from someone who really understands it. I don't know a good book though, as I learned SQL at university. That's the best way to learn, but probably not a convenient option for you. -- "lets say Portal is a puzzle game, so its a rehash of Tetris" - Wraiyth points out the craziness of stereotyping games by their genre
