Scenario: Basically I want the user to be able to click host game and it put him in a lobby waiting for others or the user clicks join game and it shows a list of games on the screen. The game is being made in C# .Net 3.5.
Problem: I need help with getting a list of servers on the network. This would all be done over LAN. We have the server/client talking to each other so all I should need is the list of servers and just switch between them.
Any help is appreciated. TIA.
There are many ways to do this and as such, there is no single best approach.
At the top of my head, you can have your servers send UDP broadcasts that describe what games they are currently running, the host, and other info.
You can then have clients listen for such broadcasts on an assigned port, to build and refresh their list of servers/games.
