[tutorial] .NET Commands (and multi-user interfaces)

[DanShadow]

Here is the (hopefully) long awaited tutorial on .NET commands and multi-user interfaces! This tutorial that I wrote will explain (most of) the .NET commands, how to use the basic netStream commands, and how to create a multi-user (server/client) interface. I hope this helps you all!

I give bits, because that's what I'm suppose to do when people dedicate time to write good tutorials, but then DanShadow's bits are static....

so.....

I give you cookie.

[DanShadow]

sweeeet, thanks!

[Paul]

sweet... free cookie available to the public...
Thanks dan, I'll be refering to that on my next 3 months of turing

[DanShadow]

Your welcome! I hope it serves you well.

good job twisting the lingo .. for a second i thougt u mean M$ .NET and in the Turing .. that got my attention.

Not a bad tutorial... *takes a bite of AsianSensation's cookie*... not bad at all

[SeanWestdaleWarriors]

Amazing...I have made two way chats, but have always struggled to go above that. GREAT JOB

[DanShadow]

Thanks to all.

Nice work. Have another cookie

Perhaps you can tell me how to find a working port? and a site i soppose?

Do you need to purchase a server to run a chat? or can i make a little one to use with a friend???

This i find really interesting, and well, your toutoreals good, but i still have those questions...

Oh, and i mada a pong game, its sweet, but glitchy...

A working port...there are 10s of 1000s. Like... 5675 for example.
The server is just a program that is written that interacts with connecting clients.
Think of this example:

Quote:

The is a SERVER in a coffee shop named BOB.
BOB is the SERVER.
Bob's job is to server all the CLIENTs (customers) who try to talk to him.
A CLIENT named JANET comes in the coffee shops, and begings to talk to BOB, the SERVER. (JANET [client] connects to BOB [server]). BOB starts talking back (accepting connection), and asks what JANET would like. JANET asks BOB for a cup of coffee (client requests information from server). BOB says 'sure!', and gives JANET a cup of coffee. (server gives information to client after the client had requested it).
Suddenly, another CLIENT comes in, and begings to talk, so BOB does the same thing he did with JANET.
Each client speaks to the server (BOB) over a thread (or in Turing, a netStream). The server can respond to multiple netStreams using the tutorial method mentioned above.
In this example, BOB the server is serving multiple customers (CLIENTS).
BOB is a server, and is just really a program. BOB can run on any computer, and any CLIENT can connect to the SERVER (BOB), as long as they know where he is (the IP address).

Hope this clears it up for you.

That should be fixed now.

What would be a good simple language that u would recommend to start programming Net based programs?
I'm starting a "Habo Hotel" like game and i need a language that can easily send information over one port. Compared to the 50+ish i had to use with turing.

And PLEASE dont tell me Java! Please! For my own sanity!
