[ENet-discuss] Sending numerical values in packets

But *how* can I send numbers as is? How to stuff them into a char array 
without using sprintf? I don't want to use sprintf/sscanf, because - 
like you mentioned - the values would be larger than necessary. I'm 
pretty sure that you can store a uint32 or a float into 4 bytes, and 
using sprintf with, say, 12345 would already use more than 4 bytes. I 
tried to experiment with casting numerical values to the array, but I 
couldn't get it work with Mingw.

Thanks!
