Stand Alones and Net Games

[chrispminis]

Not applying to any specific program but... I see these Stand Alone proggy's and im just wondering how do you make your program a stand alone? Also I've heard people talking of net turing games, how would you go about this? Please clarify.

Net module

Oh alright, Thx, net module seems a bit too complicated for me, I'll probably just wait til I learn a more "powerful" programming language to create online games. As for the stand alones, I don't know why, but ive never actually noticed that in the toolbar. Hmm. Well thx again.

Nice thing about turing's net module is it's easy to use. Downside is it doesn't always work.

If net modules are too difficult for you, it's best if you stick with Turing for learning the basics before moving onto a more "powerful" and inevitably more complex (compared to Turing) language.

It's only downhill from there

Check this out -- simple sockets with C++. All that does is echos whatever you send to the server. Really simple, right?
