[Newbies] Network Game - Server Client Approach

[Martin Bleichner]

when I reduce the amount of data it does not lose packages. so, that is
solved.

How would the netMorph integrate in the UDP approach?
I am a bit overwhelmed by the many possibilities. and its difficult as a
beginner to see through the forest.
I go for the UDP approach at the moment and hope that I will get somewhere
:)
