What about tracking clients? I am unclear about how to tell who is who.

"The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically
solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could
not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps
some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying."

ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE is for reliable and sequenced, there is no
way to get reliability without sequencing in ENet.
ENET_PACKET_FLAG_UNSEQUENCED is for unreliable and unsequenced
currently. It gets ignored if reliable is used.
If you simply pass in neither of these flags, you get UNreliable and
unsequenced, i.e. pass in 0 for the flags.
These flags are passed in to enet_packet_create(), which determines
the type of packet.

I am pretty new to the *ENet* library (and network programming in
general). I have done a few test games with *HawkNL* but that is
about all and was at least one year ago.
With the help of the *ENet* tutorial on the site I have built a
server and client that can pass data back and forth (I was so happy).
The tutorial, however, has left at least two things unclear to me:
1. How can I send data reliably but unsequenced? How can I send
data unreliably but sequenced?
2. How can I track connections when more than one client is connected?
I know there are /ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE/ and
/ENET_PACKET_FLAG_UNSEQUENCED/ via the headers. The tutorial does not
when mention /ENET_PACKET_FLAG_UNSEQUENCED/ nor its expected behavior
so I am left to assume. Judging by the variable names I think these
are meant to be used in bit flags? I have also noticed that
/ENetEvent->peer/ has a few members that might be what I am looking
for when tracking connections (/outgoingPeerID/, /incomingPeerID/,
/connectID/, /outgoingSessionID/, /incomingSessionID/) but I am
unclear on which of these to use if any.
