1. Sockets/Linux/C question
Hello folks,
Cense, your assistance earlier was tremendous and greatly appreciated. I used
what
you said to help make my connections routine work nicely.
But now, I fear I'm back with another query... I'm wondering if anyone out there
knows anything about sockets in linux that might help me. As I've said before, I
began coding a MUD from Pete's example of a client server with my own ideas
worked
into it. I am now online and open to the public and I am having a horrible
problem
with lag.
It seems that the accept() and the poll() commands seriously lag the game when
even
one of the sockets has a bad connection. Polls timeout is now set to 50 and
accept
as far as I've seen, does not have a timeout. Can anyone steer me in the right
direction, provide me a couple of clues or aid me in this way at all?
Thank you for your time,
Kayhlan

I could try and give you another hand with this problem but i would might need
to see sections of the code where your make your `accept( )` and ``poll( )`
calls. Perhaps with just a more indepth question with specific examples of your
code i could help as well.
Just another question, are you using multiplexing I/O as in "one server, many
clients" as opposed to "one server, one client"? Can more than one person play
the game at the same time?

*smack* silly me, since you are using `poll( )` you must be able to have many
clients. sorry bout that.
