I need to create two different process for player 1 and player 2. Can anyone please guide me on this? I am very new to processes.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

True
In that case youlll need to fork a new process

Answer 2

FYI
When you fork a new procees variables changed in one dont change the variables in the other.
They are two seprate processes after the fork. As if you ran the program on two terminals.

On the other hand threading stays in one process. And you have to keep in mind what variables each thread is manipulating.

But you can have each client type in something before sending it

Answer 5

Not sure but I don't think so...

Different threads does not mean different process... Right ? Is my understanding correct ?

Something to start new process is I never used..

Sometime , although less, but I do have used threads

Answer 6

Unfortunately I can't use fork as I am not on Linux... Any counterpart for windows ?
