[ryanHeartfield]

Hi,

I am building a networked game and need to send a double variable to a server client dialog.

I am using tcp/ip protocol, does anyone now how to create a PDU containing a double?

Any help would be great!

Here are some options off the top of my head:

EEE-754 interchange format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-2008#Interchange_formats
CORBA's representation (see GIOP CDR): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Inter-ORB_Protocol
Boost Serialization library

Hell, just use CORBA (OmniORB, Mico, etc) for your networking protocol and save yourself the hassle of writing the marshalling code.
