Hi!

Just wondering about what would be the best approach for handeling the players serverside and clientside?

Like a class with functions/methods like move, char* cNick, etc, or a struct, and do all the movement, etc in a for-statement?

What do u guys think? Examples? Experience? Share please

Keep it simple.
Questions? Mail me

classes and structs are indetical in modern compilers, except for the private/public defaults respectively. That said, most people use structs for objects without function, so i would use class with functions in like move, and this way its way easier to use it again for other things in the future.

Actually, they aren't
There are a few other differences between them as well, although you are right that none of them are relevent here.

Like what? I've always thought that the only differences were the default visibility of the members and the default inheritance behaviors (structs inherit publically by default whereas classes inherit privately by default).
