    <p>I'm writing a FPS XNA game. It gonna be multiplayer so I came up with following:</p> <ol> <li>I'm making two different assemblies — one for the game logic and the second for drawing it and the game irrelevant stuff (like rocket trails).</li> <li>The type of the connection is client-server (not peer-to-peer), so every client at first connects to the server and then the game begins.</li> <li>I'm completly decided to use <code>XNA.Framework.Game</code> class for the clients to run their game in window (or fullscreen) and the <code>GameComponent</code>/<code>DrawableGameComponent</code> classes to store the game objects and update&amp;draw them on each frame.</li> </ol> <p>Next, I want to get the answer to the question:</p> <p>What should I do on the server side? I got few options:</p> <ol> <li>Create my own <code>Game</code> class on the server, which will process all the game logic (only, no graphics). The reason why I am not using the standart <code>Game</code> class is when I call <code>Game.Run()</code> the white window appears and I cant figure out how to get rid of it.</li> <li>Use somehow the original XNA's <code>Game</code> class, which is already has the <code>GameComponent</code> collection and Update event (60 times per second, just what I need).</li> </ol> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>I got more questions:</p> <p>First, what socket mode should I use? TCP or UDP? And how to actually let the client know that <strong>this</strong> packet is meant to be processed <strong>after that</strong> one?</p> <p>Second, if I is going to use exacly <code>GameComponent</code> class for the game objects which is stored and processed on the <strong>server</strong>, how to make <strong>them</strong> to be drawn on the client? Inherit them (while they are combined to an assembly)? Something else?</p>
