[SDL] (a little OT) database suggestions for use w/SDL?

[Oisin Mulvihill]

well you could use a combination of open ssl
for security, and random numbers as command
codes which change each session. That way
you have secure sockets and packets which can't
be re-sent/recorded for later use. I'm working
on a project which uses this and its really 
straight forward to do. Whoever its still in the
early stages of development.

Yes, but that doesn't stop you from hacking an auto-aim tool into your 
client, guaranteeing that every shot you fire is aimed dead center at the 
closest object that could be a target. It doesn't stop you from writing 
something that moves your character when a fast moving object on collision 
course is detected.

Unless the cliend doesn't even do the world->screen transformations, that
is.
