Talk about false advertising. The title of this book should be "game programming for idiots." I bought this book hoping to find some insight into multi-player game design with an emphasis on massively multi-player applications, and what I got was a phonebook sized stack of paper that does an excellent job of explaining the issues involved without actually giving any solutions! Let me sum up the knowledge contained within...When implementing a multiplayer game you can use a client-server or peer to peer architecture. Peer to peer results in more connections. And you might look into using sockets or DirectPlay, but you'll need to buy a different book to really understand what is going on...oh and with mmporpg applications you'll have to worry about zones and server boundaries, but how to solve those problems is left as a exercise for the reader!
