Any recommendations on a platform independent network lib? By platform independant I really only mean linux/windows. I am looking for simplicity over power for now. Oh yes, free too.

Well you could write your own, not sure what you''re looking for. Some people like ACE but personally I think it is really overrated.

HawkNL with its OpenGL-like syntax.

That''s two recommendations for HawkNL from a total of 3 people. I''ll go with HawkNL. Thanks.

I think, if that doesn''t work out for you, there is always SDL_net, if you are using SDL at all in your project, it may be worth it.

If anybody else is interested, HawkNL worked out perfectly. It was a bit lower level than I was looking for but it is very straight forward and documented "well enough" that developing a higher level wrapper took a matter of minutes.

and just to give you a flipside, i tried hawknl once, found it was too difficult to make it work, and wrote my own simple socket wrapper which works perfectly. it took less than a day.

hey guys!
what do you think about enet? (http://enet.cubik.org/index.html)

Twisted

That''s great, Fruny! If you''re writing your game in Python, that is.
