Short: UDP funcs for Blitz- good for Net games
Author: anton@ww.co.nz (Anton Reinauer)
Uploader: anton@ww.co.nz (Anton Reinauer)
Version: 1.9
Type: dev/basic
Requires: dev/basic/TCP-to-Blitz.lha, WB 2.0+, min 1.5 meg mem.
These are functions to use the UDP protocol for multiplayer internet
games in Blitz2. Also there is a small IRC-like chat program which is a
good Net game communications test-bed. It checks wether packets have
arrived at their destination by using an acknowledgement system, and
resends packets if necessary. Also it can also act as either a Server
or Client with log-in routines- each player is informed of the new player
and starts sending any messages to the new player, as the communication
is still peer-to-peer.
There's a few TCP functions as well, like converting a ASCII address to
numerical (long), and vice-versa, getting your local IP address etc. Some
of the log-in and message protocols could be used in TCP games as well.
UDP is more appropriate for fast action games, like Doom clones,
Xwing clones, or platformers, maze games etc; anything that needs small
lags (ping times), to remain playable over a network.
