   Network stuff
  Hi, how difficult would it be to set up internet playing, I''m thinking about almost the most simple thing you could do, my idea is for 9 screens,you can move between screens at certain points (portals), and other than just you and some other players being able to move about etc.Thanks 
  Well, you could learn how to use sockets , or you could use DirectPlay.  I''m currently working with DP, and its a bitch.  Not because its difficult to understand really, but because the documentation is lax.  I personnally find the way DP handles everything very useful though, but you''ll have to decide.http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dx81_c/directx_cpp/Play/CPP_Tut/Tutorial1_EnumerateSP.asp
