Re: [projectx] Networking Wrapper Class

[Ben C. <cro...@ne...>]

Don,

It's looking good.  A few suggestions are: for the type argument in the
send() method, 0 should send to all players, while 1-n send to that player
# (n being the number of players).  That way you can send messages to just
one person.  In fact, that would be kind of cool since you could send
messages to the AI players (and if someone wanted to write a script to
parse that input and reply, it would be even cooler ;)).  I think the
update() methods will just create a string with the client's info and 
then send that to the server -- i.e. something like this (without the
quotes):
  Player #   Name   X   Y   Move_X   Move_Y   Health   Armor Strength" 
  "2 Bob 203 193 5 -2 95 33"

Of course we'll need to update information on which weapons the player has
and how much ammo and all of that too.  Once I finish coding the prototype
(which is after I finish coding the Boulderdash tutorial), we'll finalize
the game classes (all those .h files) and then start writing script
wrappers.  Once that happens, work can begin in earnest.  Until then, look
around for ideas and do your assignments.

Later,
Ben
