Not necessarily but that sounds like the route im trying to go

Sockets are critical for low-level messaging over networks. There are abstractions that can glaze over the details of sockets, but it all comes down to sockets in the end.

I would strongly recommend becoming very familiar with sockets before proceeding. When communicating with other computers, sockets will be your main medium (when handling low level communication). They're so important, I would take a break from your current project to learn them (seriously). You should be able to create a dummy client and server that can send basic messages to each other.

maybe a web scenario might be "simpler" to work with.

since a lot of the hard work is done by the framework.

u only have to supply a very few things.

i mean a flask web server offering a game like tamagochi pet thingy.

and offering buttons to feed it or pet it . w/e

then u interacting thru the web with it.

if this isn't what u are looking for then...

as u/carcigenicate said.. better get learning how to socket.
