Server library in SDL_net

SDL Development
1

hi
I am working with tuxmath and found that there is no library for or
handling server/client program. Only solution is to make a
server/client program form scratch thereby increasing development time
and code with lots of bug. Is there any future plan of making common
library for handling client/server. If so then i am very happy to work
on it.

Can you clarify what you mean by “library for handling server/client
program”? What would this library do?

I don’t think there are any plans for high level features, the SDL
library and add-ons are generally quite low level, just high enough to
be cross platform.

Hi Brian

Can you clarify what you mean by “library for handling server/client
program”? What would this library do?

It will contain function for setting up server with different port
using threads and how different servers will sync data between them.
I will contain function for client/server arch and peer to peer communication.

All the function present in library will be based on function present
in SDL_net library therefore they will automatically cross platform.

This a rough sketch made by me.This will a overview of my idea.

You may be better off using a networking library. Have a
look at ZeroMQ.On 16/02/2011, at 8:07 PM, deepak aggarwal wrote:

Hi,

check out this: http://enet.bespin.org/

I know a number of games that have used it successfully, and it’s pretty small.On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 7:44 AM, deepak aggarwal <deepak.aggarwal9 at gmail.com> wrote:

Hi john
I have read about this library and after going through it . I feel that this
library is still very incomplete. My main mission is to develop networking
library which are best suited for game networking programming using SDL_net
library.

What about Raknet?

Hey very good library but sorry it can’t be used with c code. It’s one of
the most biggest drawback of this library.
Certainly we need a networking lib for handling server using sdl_net.On 17-Feb-2011 4:59 PM, “Brian Barrett” <brian.ripoff at gmail.com> wrote:
