WinSock Implementations

TCP

• Echos the message back to clients, and has a basic command to close the server.
  • OneServerOneClient serves clients one at a time and places the rest in a queue.
  • MultipleClients serves clients in a main loop consecutively.

UDP

• Sends the mouse coordinates from the client to the server
  • The client serializes the POINT struct into the buffer
  • The server deserializes the POINT struct and prints it to the console
