Well I am sure I cannot use sockets it is stated. It is assumed that the game is run on a unix/linux server and the users make use of their machines as terminals so evryone controls his player in the game but can also see the others beauce all players aim is to reach at some position in the map. who reaches first wins the control is done by the arrows up/down/left/right. I think using putty as terminal is the best so people would be able run the game and if there is an open session of the game before they opened it it will give them option to join or not so if they join they will be put in a random free position and they will see the other players aiming at the goal so they will be able to start playing imigitly. This is the way it should work. About atomic functionality I was thinking about semaphores. Do you think that is the way to go about it. I haven't got much time to finish my design because it is high time start coding since I am not that good at C. Thanks for all suggestions till now and for any future of these.10x agian iliali16 wrote: > > Hi Guys I am currently developing a multiplayer game for my assignment now > I have problem since I am not a good C programmer and I am trying to > develop a game which has to be multiplayer and each player should be able > to access a map and move around on it and be able to see the other players > moving as well.
