Hello.

I got Dark Net a little bit ago. And though it seems to be easy, I must admit I'm kind of a deer in the head lights. I have never done networking. And coping code from the cube demo does not seem to work well (or at all).

Can someone kind of walk me though it? I kind of understand what the code is saying, but I want to be able to use in ways that are beneficial for my project. I don't want to just copy it.

Thanks.

I think it maps pretty well to networking as a whole.
Maybe you could try to read a paper or watch a tutorial about that?
It would be very lengthy to explain it in a post here and I don't know how many people would have the spare time to do that. Anyway, you're basically sending packets between different programs (that may be run on different computers). This allows you to transfer data between them. That is the basic idea of it, but I guess you already knew as much
So the point is to figure out what data you need to send / receive to give the same view of a world for instance to all connected players. Or whatever you're planning on doing.

actually I'm just having a hard time with connecting and starting the server. I can't really find a documentation or tutorial on dark net.

Could you perhaps post what you have done? I use Dark NET.
