Question

[MrNewbie]

Ok I've been learning C but am far from advanced. I want to eventually make a game that has two parts, a server and a client, people run the client and connect to the server and its a simple game moving round a 2d map and shooting other people and the other people are people connected to the server. What I want to know is, would this be extremely hard to do? Is it REALLY a lot of work? Could you people here do it?
I just want to know how much I'm gonna have to learn before I can do it.
Thank you

There is a game that follows this client AND server both as different processes model. Its called XTux, its on freshmeat.net. It is a 2d action game where you get to play as RMS or Tux or Beastie, etc. and shoot each other in a top down style of game. Loads of fun. I would recommend you grab the source and take a look at it. Or better, if you are just starting with C grab an earlier version as there is likely less code in it.

I forgot to mention, this would be played over the internet. Is that game? I'll go check it out.
Thanks
