Multiple clients

Post by 20_NickName_20 »

I am working on game with multiplayer

How to make it possible to connect more than 1 client?

Or how to read from multiple clients at time?

How are you currently connecting with just one client?

If it is enet, each peer on the server is it's own "client" (in server-client arch). You can get the peer from event.peer

If it is luasocket (UDP), each receivefrom return's each client's connected ip address (unique for that current connection, ip can change, and port will change on each connect)

If you need an enet example (for new people to enet), I wrote a chat server-client if you want to see how it handles multiple connections in a basic way https://github.com/EngineerSmith/enet-example

My multiplayer love jam game has it more complex with threads if you want to see how I handle logging in too https://github.com/EngineerSmith/love-j ... in/network
