Inspiration to Learn - Networking / Server Intergration

Hello,

I’m aware this isn’t the best place for this but it doesn’t seem to fall into any other categories (surely there should be one related to networking?)

So, I myself am a game artist/designer but I have a programming friend who is very interested in coding and ‘server stuff’. I have managed to convince him to try Unreal and so far he is loving the engine and apparently having a lot of fun learning the basics.

I was wondering if, to keep him keen, somebody could suggest some fun ideas or even tutorials (blueprint or code) for him that would make use of a dedicated server. While I’m sure there are many tutorials for setting up multiplayer networking, I was hoping for something a bit more original. Maybe something where the engine has to reference his server for a gameplay element? Or possibly one where completing an online web form registered you as a player on a mmo game… anything?

Sorry for the lack of technicality, as I said, I’m an artist :slight_smile:

html5 multiplayer actually has to work before you can do anything ‘fancy’, maybe he can take a look at this
