we are developing a multi networked ping pong game in
java for class and the problems we are facing is that the game lags for some reason and it ruins the whole game. Our server is responsible for controlling the game and etc. We are using TCP to send messages constantly to the server with the following info: paddle x and y coordinate, paddle length, paddle height, ball x and y coordinate, and ball radius. Then the server broadcast the message to everyone the gui can be updated with the info that the server sent. The client and server are sending and receiving messages to each other every 40ms. We have tried running our program in different comp and we still have the same problem. does anyone have an idea how we can resolve this issue? We are thinking that the buffer can handle this constant messaging. We might be overflowing the tc buffer. If you need me to post some code let me know. I really need t fix this bug its driving me insane
