C++ Networking


Question

Hi,

I just started learning C++, not to say I don't know how to program, but does anyone know of any libraries or what not that I can use to connect to other computers for a simple game I'm writing?

Thanks.

What OS are you using and are you building Windows Applications (GUI or Console) or are you building old style DOS programs (thats not the best way to put it, I just can't think of another way to say it)

#include <winsock2.h>

That's only if you're making a Windows app though.

I'm using XP. More than likely it'll be a console program unless I learn how to do GUI's sometime soon.

Thank for the header, I'll check it out.

Btw, is there a good place to go for a tutorial on winsock?
