MULTIPLAYER PROGRAMMING

Started by
0 comments, last by invitro 22 years, 7 months ago
I would like to know where to start in programming my own multiplayer game. I know how to manage sockets, but don''t know how to deal with timings, what to transfer, when transfer, when to update, what do draw, what to receive, etc... And would like to know a place for reading such info if there is one. Thanks.
