I keep getting errors when I try to make a multiplayer game in python [closed]

Question

I have been running into problems recently where the client-side of a networking game never read/recognizes the server. When I tried to use the socket module the client never accepts the socket. I used a module called NetworkZero, but that never returned more than None when I used .discover(). I have no idea what the problem is. Any ideas are appreciated

Answer 1

There are many ways to set up an interface between clients and servers.

The easiest is probably to start with HTTP especially in Python where you can just use requests and poll for your data.

This will get you to prototyping quickly and then you can put your focus into optimizing when you start running into issues.

Of course this may be a less than optimal solution depending upon the nature of your game. Without context I would recommend using simple client/server communication systems you understand.
