Datagrams in Games

[Keirxl]

Hello,

I’ve been building a few games that keep getting stuck. I believe it’s because they need datagrams to function well, so I’m putting it out there that I’d love a tutorial for this!

The official Blinklib does not have any delivery guarantees for datagrams so a datagram sent by one Blink might never reach a connected Blink.

MY custom Blinklib does support guaranteed delivery for datagrams and I am using it heavily in Hexxagon.
