Does anyone know of a library for writing a server for a game?
The idea is for the clients to be able to calculate all positions, etc.
given the exact time and any actions (eg weapon fired) with the times they
happened. The times would keep in sync by a time being sent to the clients
every 200ms or whatever - each client could be sent times at different
rates. I had started to make a server myself, with actions being sent over a
reliable STREAM socket and times over an unreliable DGRAM socket, but it
would be a lot easier if this was already done.

Thanks, Michael.
