Hello guys,
I am currently working on a multiplayer 2d top down racer and got a question about networking.
At the moment when a client wants the new postion of the players it sends an udp packet and with the packets inetaddress and port the server can send the position to the client.
Now i thought this is really inconvenient so tried saving the port and inetaddress of each player in a HashMap and start a new Thread on the server where i send the movement updates to every client whos in the map every 30 ms or so … unfortunately in this way the clients did not receive the packets.
So my question is: How can my clients receive udp packets from the server without sending an udp-packet before receiving?
Hope you guys understand my problem and i am looking forward to your answers!!!
