I already have a game in the apps store and its doing moderatly welll, but Im wanting to add online multiplayer but I dont really know where to start as I've never done networking at all before. My questions are:
1) What sort of server will I need? I already have a linux virtual server running my websites, but Im not sure it has a C compiler, will I need to rent another one too? Are there any you can recommend?
2) Is there any libraries out there I can use to help me develop my networking code?
3) Are there any decent tutorials on how to start writing networking code on the iPhone?
4) What can I expect in regards to lag/ping times etc? As this is a fps space shooter game, it could probably do with fast responses.
Many thanks for any help you can give?
