Hi, I'm trying to write a game sever/client architecture in D, but I
keep running into problems with the timeouts for windows sockets.
On the std.socket documentation page it states that you can't set a
timeout smaller than 500ms, and I've been experiencing this problem
first hand. The problem is that I am trying to interlace sending packets
with receiving packets, and I can't do that at 60 FPS without having a
low timeout.
Two questions: First, can you use select() on UDP sockets?
Second, would it be feasible to have two different sockets instead, and
use the REUSEADDR option? I'm somewhat worried about client-side cheating.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Evan Davis
If you really want performant sockets on Windows, you need to make use
of the Windows specific APIs, and use IO completion ports not select.
