Topics I've Started

From stand-alone game to online-multiplayer

01 November 2012 - 02:57 PM

Sorry if this is the wrong place for my questions. I'm a brand new member and this is my first post.

I have been developing and selling stand-alone games for Windows for many years. Now, I would like to put one (or more) of my games online, so that people can log in and play other people from around the world.

The games are written in C using National Instruments CVI environment (if that's relevant). I have a website (Amuseware) which is hosted by IDCSoft.

Okay. The first question is: can I use my existing C code or do I need to learn another language?

2. Would the game exist on the (IDCSoft) server and people would download a client application?

3. Is the "game room" a separate application? And do I write that or buy it?

4. Are there tools out there designed for what I want to accomplish?

Thanks so much for your help.
