i have a project for school where i am making a multiplayer dice game, i havent learned how to do that yet and when i try to google or youtube it, all i keep getting is advanced stuff involving servers. can somebody please tell me what to look up, or what i need to do to make a basic 2 to 4 player game.
Well, hold on. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.
Ask the professor if it's intended to be played across a network (his/her answer will most likely be no). If not, you're spared and can just assume all 2-4 players are sitting in front of the same computer.
Otherwise, you will need a good networking library and to do some research on networked applications. In that case, this may be a good place to start: http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html
