I am making a game that needs to connect numberous computers on numberous networks. Is this possible. I will be inputing strings of names. Speed is not the biggest issue. I will be hosting a website that will be dedicated to this game aswell. |

if you're dedicating a website anyways, why not make it webbased rather than writing clients in Turing? |

well im not really that knowledgeable in anything else other than turing... I need to have a tangeble product to sell to customers. And most of the programming is already done, and its all in turing. |

ya it will...its nothing big really, more for fun, and some extra money on the side... its no business deal here...more just an experiment...theres a good size base of dedicated consumer interest in it already. What would you suggest rather than turing? |

depends on what you're trying to do really. Do you want to give us a general overview of your project? |

Well there is an offline and online component. Offline, you take the time to train in breakdancing. You learn new moves, increase your stamina, strength, etc. Then once a week, there will be a breakdancing competition held, say friday at 8pm. Then at this competition, you try to "out do" the other players on the floor. The object is to score "cash" and earn a prominent reputation as a B-boy. does that give you guys a good idea?...im not sure if java would be the best idea, since i would need this game to run offline aswell. I can learn new code, that's not a problem, i just dont want to waste time learning a code, and finding out it wont get the job done. All i really need, is to be able to read and write to a text file on the WWW. Thanks for the help guys...Matt |

well you could write to WWW from turing in a form of open : www.yoursite.com/script.choice?text_text_text but that ofcouse would require you to learn something that could process CGI, such as Ruby or PHP |

would C++ or visual basic have more options for me in terms of net play? |

ooo I heard C++ is really hard but much better than turing u can make much better games with it than in Turing 8) |

Many people are also saying C# (C Sharp) is the future of the gaming industry. Both C++ and C# are excellent though. |

hmm, yes. If you're going to go for something new -- C# is worth looking into. It is defenatly a better choice over C++ |
