Coding a proxy for a game

[burgerman]

What goes into coding something like a proxy for a game?

I'm sure you need lots of knowledge of different things.

Which programming language would it be best or easiest to do in?

When i learn the language will it come a lot more clearer?

You're going in too deep.

Learn a programming language first. Preferably C since many other languages are based on it.

Then ask how something is to be done once you know the language.

C teaches you some very very nasty habbits that are definetly not suited for anything else

You must be a VB programmer then.

awk, bash, C++, C#, csh, D, Java, J#, L, PHP, sed, ...

What other programming language has spawned so many languages based on its syntax? C must've done something right.

He prolly means it teaches you the habbit of actually writing good code instead of drop&dragg stuff

He means the fact that it isn't object oriented. :technolog

Before you can write object oriented code, you have to know how to write basic code. C is a good way to start, especially since you can then proceed to C++ which is object oriented.

OOP is good in theory, but for projects with fewer then ~ 1000 lines of code its usually overkill. Ie, C is as good a language as any to start, after your programs get more complex you can always go use C++.

and ASM..

What? Asm (well, x86/IA32 at least) isn't based on C... in fact it has a linear structure unlike most other HLLs.

I've already got a book on C and am about half way into it.

What else is needed? Most likely something to do with networking, but I'm not sure exactly.

 

[username1]

Yes. Winsock.

Can you please give me a link to a good book on this subject?

Or perhaps a link to a nice tutorial on it.
