About
The idea of this project was to implement a multiplayer system using UDP protocol and Winsock library in an already created asteroids game. It was a challenge, as this was the first time that I tried to use networking in a real game. While doing this assignment I learnt about the different techniques that could be used in a multiplayer game (lockstep, dead reckoning, etc...)
