sorry to spam, but one more thing. Do you still remember the structure of the source you had when you connected to 3 people at once. I'm interested in making a mirc style chat.

anyone else have any suggestions?

doesn't anyone have any suggestions of previous experience with making a more than 2 way chat program????

Blade · **Posted:** Tue May 27, 2003 7:56 pm

i think they've already told you to use more than one connection. one person hosts and as the other two chat the host sends the messages back and forth

k, ye, i was just curious to know the exact structure tony used.

chat is possible with turing in as many clients as you want the only problem is the lag and the fact that too many users will crash your program...i remember that i made mine with a flexible array, every time a client attempted to connect to my server, it stored him as a single variable, increased the max value of the array, and stored him as the last variable in that array and dumped the value in the single variable, this way its like an ID check at a club
1.you enter
2.you connect
3.you wait to allowed entrance while you are being initialized as a client
4.you are connected once part of the array
the only problem is when we reached past 4, we started spamming like mad and the server shut down and we all got 5 day in school suspension...lolz.... Twisted Evil

...to bad...it stunted our intelectual growth (yea rite)

LOL, they suspended you for chatting in turing?! man, thats nuts... especially for 5 days Confused

lol, I remember that net send got out of control on our school's network... it was removed from the start bar, but you can still access it by creating a shortcut (if you know what to type) or using a programming language (in our cares VB...)... me and my friend got quite annoyed so we also programmed our nukes... usually a small program to send out 10,000 messages... that kind of hangs the other computer... well untill user is done clicking Twisted Evil

lolz....yea...we got suspended this year too...from our accounts for using telnet by creating a shortcut to it

Hmm, I'm pretty sure that you can't get multiple connections in turing. Tony and I played around with it a bunch last summer, but couldn't get it to work.

Tony · **Posted:** Tue May 27, 2003 9:41 pm

I though we were trying to make a over the network game, but we couldnt get it to real time.. lag was horrible...

but multiple connections are possible

Thanks for all the help, but I've convinced a friend of mine to help me construct a server program so that the clients can connect to it. He has done it a few times before, anyone in toronto who has participated in math competitions may know him. Anyways, he loves turing and I'll post the source for the server when its complete.

Why does it matter if we live in Toronto or not? I though math contests (waterloo once) are national Confused

I'm from Toronto 8)

I have began production on a multiple connection chat room.... these connections are made as followed......

Anyone can create their own server ... and anyone can connect to it (if IP or computer name is known)....there will be nick support and also private messaging to anyone in the chatroom also a buddylist....also, this is a maybe...if I get it working properly, sending files....prolly only textfiles and pictures....not sure if exe's will work.... but testing is in progress.....I will post up the program as I feel neccessary to do so..... wish me luck.....

I have never been able to get a server to connect to more th an 1 client, or anything close to that. But seriously, if anyone can get this to work, please pm me! I have an idea:
Keep 1 server open all the time, connects to multiple clients. When a client sends info to the server, the server will sort it out, and return info accordingly.

Ex. Client sends variable 'input' to server
input:="stat list"
server>>>
if input="stat list" then
get net %something% ....

Well sorry...thats too confusing. I mean to make a MUDD in Turing using 1 server and multiple clients, practically to create a multiplayer game...heh
