hi, my problem is about socket programming. My code below only connects the client to the server, and it works just fine. However, I should create a 2player game which of course require the interaction of the 1st and 2nd player. The problem here is that they really don't interact with each other, it is as if the terminal for the client side is a separate program from the terminal for the server side(sorry if I can't explain it clearly..lol) yeah, the client connected successfully, but they don't interact..pls I really need this code or else I'll fail my subject..tnx a lot!
