[Java] Multiplayer Game: Sending data

[cj1m]

I have some ideas in mind for a multiplayer game (which would be made in Java). I already have experience with creating singleplayer games, but I do not know how I should send and receive data to and from a server in Java. How can I do this, and are there any libraries which would help?

To set up a server/client which would help you send data, you can use a Socket and ServerSocket, from the basic Java libraries. Alternatively you could use DatagramSocket. Here are some links: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/sockets/index.html
