[Worldforge-all-lists] [WF-Protocols] Very short peek at Binary2

[Aloril <al...@ik...>]

Bach:
{id: "12",
objtype: "obj",
parents: ["human"],
pos: [4.5, 6.5, -1.0]}

In binary2 above might be:
First dictionary entry that defines most of things from above as
constant. Then assuming 16 bits is enough of accuracy for position in
some small world: use fixed point float for pos.
float -> fixed: f*2
fixed -> float: f/2
*\00212\011\000\015\000\376\377

Explanation:
type byte (42 / "*"), string length (2 / "\002"), 
id string value (49, 50 / "12"), pos[0] (9, 0 / "\011\000")
pos[1] (13, 0 / "\015\000"), pos[2] (254, 255 / "\376\377")

Note server defines all dictionary entries.


Binary1_beta as with many characters escaped and newlines added:
\012\004\010\002id\00212\010\007objtype\003obj
\011\007parents\001\010\005human
\011\003pos\003\004\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\0112
\004\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\0152
\006\200\200\200\200\200\200\200\0104

(note that could use less accuracy in binary1 also by simply having
less bits in mantissa part and appropriately decreasing exponent part:
this would remove 1/3 from above)
