Hi Ferdinand, TCP/IP is definetly the one I'll be testing out first so I can have a good framework for the other connections. If you want to test a beta version( whenever I get done with it ) of the DirectPlay capabilites, please post that you want to on my Exotica Forum at: http://pub19.ezboard.com/bexoticadxgamelibrary in the "Exotica for Euphoria Programmers" section so I can let you know and everybody else that wants to test it when it's available and ready to test out. At the moment, I need to make my game library all in one dll to make it easier for me to deal with. Once I have Exotica bascially completed with everything I can put into it, I'll consider making seperate dlls. I try my best at keeping Exotica backword compatible with newer versions. But it's never a garantee because I might need to make a function name change to sound better for what it does and also add more parameters to a function to help the programmer get more use of the DirectX functionality. With that in mind, if there is a change in a function, you wont have to code all of your game over again. It just requires you to change a couple( if any ) of function name(s) and/or add/subtract a parameter(s) to/from a specific function when you get a newer version of Exotica, if you even use the specific function at all. I would suggest keeping current with Exotica versions so you will have less chance of having a nightmare in fixing any name changes or function parameters if you decide to update your game with a newer version. Plus, by getting the latest version of Exotica, you'll get to have more functions that you might find very useful/interesting to put into your game and any new bug fixes that Exotica may of had. Good luck with your game and thanks for the compliment! =3D) And remmeber, if you need any help with anything about Exotica, you can also post questions on the Exotica Forum. -- Todd Riggins > =E0V wrote: > > Todd , you are the man !
