Hello everyone,

I have to do programming to make a small, straightforward game operating over a LAN

network. I think I should use Visual C++ and MFC libraries from Microsoft, because it's easy to

learn and use. Dealing with some network programming concepts such as TCP, UDP and some

Socket API is also essential.

I have no background in gaming and network programming. So, I face some difficulties.

Can you please give me some simple sample games source codes such as hangman, bingo,

puzzle etc., with or without networking, for me to get familiar with.
I appreciate projects built with MS Visual C++ 2005/2008. But any advices are invaluable!

Thank you for any help.

If you think that windows programming is easy to learn, you're wrong
You'll find yourself with a 250 lined code just to make a window.
You should check the example games section:

Tic-Tac-Toe, Pong and Space Fight

Oh gosh what a subject! I will agree with Flacko, it is not an easy task to mess with Windows Programming. If you still want to go that way with the Visual C++. This is the book you should get.

Programming Multiplayer Games [Illustrated] (Paperback) by: Andrew Mulholland.

This will give you the framework of what you want for Multiplayer games using Windows API's and Visual C++. It also goes into TCP/IP and much more.
