[isugamedev-devel] Re: Network Support

[Johnathan G. <da...@us...>]

I haven't decided yet how I want to do that.  I was considering doing two 
things at the least.

1)  Implement a networked input device so that an application could receive 
input events for it's devices over the wire.  Obviously this would only be 
useful for LAN applications and is not really feasible to use as a network 
module.

2)  Implement a hierarchy for network events.  In other words, their will be 
an abstract base class for network events containing a bare minimum of 
fields, and a set of frequently used events derived from the base network 
event class.  Beyond that, users will need to implement their own types of 
events for their specific application derived from the base network event 
type.  How this will all behave is still on the drawing board (or in the air).

Let me know what you think.
