VBGamer

i have a few questions 1.. is there a way i can get the void sample with a map editor.. like i want everything that is on it but i would like a tile backgroud.. what would i need to add... 2 which is faster using winsock or direct play.. 3 if i were to use them how would i put them in the game like how would i make other people move. would i need to make another layer ro just have a few sprites on the same layer and have them move around everywhere.
