Hello everybody, I recently got a idea for a game I'd like to prototype... a sidescroller. However, as my previous game I want this one to be online at one point as well. For my earlier games I had two seperate programs. The client (game) and the server. What happened due to this is that the...

Hello! I posted this earlier this week and went back on the thread, so I'm back again for help from the community. I'm currently developing a multiplayer game with a UDP server in Python. My issue is that I want to secure the communication between the game client in GMS 2 and my server in...

So I have an object called obj_connection. Within that object there's two events. A create event and a asynchronous networking event. Create: init_connection(); connect(); Both scripts work, I've used show_debug_message along the way and it has indeed done all it need to do. Asynchronous...
