LÖVE

I'm wondering about something. Is it possible for multiple operating systems using LOVE and problably Android with LOVE to be connected to a single server or locally without issues?

Shouldn't be an issue neither with a dedicated server, nor with p2p (peer-to-peer) solutions. One thing i heard though is that floating point stuff might not be exactly the same depending on architecture, but i might be wrong about that.

I agree with zorg. By using a suitable transport representation of the date it shouldn't be an issue at all.

I'd say it's pretty difficult in Löve to make network code that DOESN'T work across platforms. If you for some reason don't want cross-platform play, you have to deliberately prevent it.

By floating point number representations, i mean any kind, not just dates though
Like if one uses non-integer numbers as coordinates, they might ever-so-slightly differ.

Sorry for the typo. I meant to write data. I wasn't referring to date in any way (needless to day, dates a better represented with a string).

That's true, but that can also happen even if you're just targeting a single OS, so you need to take that into account regardless of which OSs you support.

Yes! this is definitely possible in fact if you just use luasocket you shouldn't even have to do any extra effort, I at least didn't have to in my multiplayer project
