Re: Visual C++: Getting socket server to run parallel to other processes

Interesting usage of freshman slave labor...

Does your freshman know socket/thread programming? If not, then you should probably go over that with him because threading can get really complicated really fast and when you have multiple reads and writes going on at the same time through your sockets (which seems to be your plan) , you need to have a sound asynchronous environment that won't fail you during a match.

Yeah the NUC is way too pricey to run Linux. I think the team had money to throw away and we chose to throw it away on our vision processing (which we didn't even fully use in competition).
