Re: Client writing

Before designing your program you will need to answer some questions:

Is the server TCP or UDP?
Are the data sent as ascii or binary integers?
If the data are binary, are they in Network Byte Order?
Are the data 16 bit, 32bit or 64bit integers?

Each of these questions will have an impact on your design. You'll need a different type of client for TCP vs. UDP. You'll need to unpack binary numbers. You'll need to unpack binary numbers with a or A depending on length if the numbers are in NBO.
