Hello

I’m writing a queue manager for a school project, and thought it would be cool if the names in the queue show up for everyone who’s running the program. I’ve tried a UDP server, but I couldn’t get that to work over my network (I’m not sure if this affects it, but my PC was on Ethernet and my laptop was on WiFi. Same network though).

Anyone know of a good way to do this? Thanks in advance!

Here is a link to my code: Link

Hello,

I am aware of these resources:
https://processing.org/tutorials/network/
https://processing.org/reference/libraries/net/

And there are examples that come with Processing:

There is also UDP and Websockets in the libraries with Processing:
