Mini Updater

[Steven E. Bajo Jr]

Hi RZ, just sharing my very simple updater it uses a secured layer in hypertext transfer protocol but using Json files to avoid caching old version in your files from the server.


Online Game - Mini Updater

This is a simple game updater that checks for updates on a server and downloads and installs them if necessary. It uses a JSON file to store the list of files on the server, and checks the local files against the server files to determine which files need to be updated.
