Introduction to SDL Net using JEDI-SDL Part 3

**technomage** · 05-02-2007, 09:27 PM

After a 2 year gap, the SDL Net Tutorials are back :!:

We left you playing with the TCP sockets in Part 2, part 3 builds on what was learnt then and adds UDP to the mix to implement a Time Sync Client and Server.

You can find the Cerebral-Bicycle version of the tutorial here.

Edit - The PGD version can be found here

I did approve this to appear in our Articles section, but it seems to have disappeared. WILL

Thats so odd. It worked for me.

I've been waiting 2 years for this. (But I did have a preview version

)

Run-A-War uses the TCP option but I;'ve always wanted to get UDP working for my games

Has anyone been able to download the full source code for the tutorial?

Anyway, the tutorial is very good.

**savage** · 06-02-2007, 09:59 AM

Link to source code fixed.

**vgo** · 06-02-2007, 10:57 AM

Thanks a lot.

I checked the links on the first two tutorials too and the link in the first one seems to be pointing to the old site too.

I have updated the links on the Cerebral-Bicycle site tutorials as well.

I have made some progress with the code for Part 4, currenty is a red dot that move around the screen. On the client is is very jerky, even on a lan, so I need to look into network prediction code etc.

Anyone know any good sites with information on how to beat lag and other network related issues :?:
