A simple Chat room

[Nintendork]

I wana make a simple chat room to get the basics of a clint/server comunication. however I have no idea how to even start. I DO know VB preay well. so how could I make one?


ALSO can this server be used to host a web game, like Neopets?

You can easily google for "vb Winsock Chat" and find an example, its very easy to construct a chat.

I dont know what Neopets so cant help you there.

[William]

You made it sound very difficult Just google for it, there are thousands of such small programs to download.

And btw, Neopets is in Mysql and PHP so VB wont work.

well in theory it's possible, but it wouldn't be the same, e.g. you have a form with like "feed pet" and it sends the data to the server and it sends new hunger etc for the pet back

but php would be muuuuuch better so really it's for browsers only

He said server, not client.
