@KilluaEnki No. There is no need for that. You can use nc (netcat) or telnet (not tested this, just a guess).

@KilluaEnki Although, it would be easy to implement. Just gets() from the terminal -> write it to socket, read from the socket -> puts() to the terminal.

could anyone help me how to write the code for the game wheel of fortune?
