i saw a lot website does this on their sever, i can check how many peoples were playing from the website. i wanna make a c++ program to show who ever use it how many people on my sever
ill show you a better thing to do.
check out (as an example) www.lbrp.forumbuild.com/status
is that the kind of applet you are talking about?
if so, just go to www.game-state.eu, create an account there and make a widget for yourself. no hassle at all.
you can also mae badges like the one u see in my signature. cheers
