network code Thread

if you got a good working network code, will it work for more than one engine, and can you change the network code without having the full source code?

no no and no! Network code for today's mainstream games remain closed for security.

1. Network code is generally engine specific.
2. No, network code isn't included in non-full sources. Yes, if you're an absolute genius who's somehow got infinite wisdom in knowing what the code is and how it works, without ever having seen it 0_o

hehe... some classes in networking and distributed-computing will help you a lot there...

Haha, I'm taking network programming as part of my games programming course. Even then - it's hard to know precisely what's going on and making something to interface with something you haven't got

Ooh, Game Programming course? Where are you attending?

Derby, in the UK. It's a pretty good course, definitely the best equipped (in the UK I mean...)

me no programming course, studying informatics (mainly software engineering) at university of berne
