Hi,
I want to create a multiplayer version of irrlicht

I'm junior developper so I know how to use socket in somes language but I dont know if that will be a good idea.

did I need to use a librairie or something like that

I saw somebody talk about libcurl and network library.

DirecPlay maybe

any help before I start something wrong

tank you

Irrlicht is just a graphics engine. For any networking you will need another networking library. Look into enet? I find it is a good starting point, and you don't have to work with raw winsocket code files.
