A small network lib

[sudi]

I recently started coding on my gameengine again and remade some of the network. Well after fitting the network engine for my needsi thought hey why not make my own networkengine. So i stated coding and made this little thing. Right now its just tcp but i guess i will add udp after adding all needed stuff.

Its of course non blocking. Just call INetwork::receive once a frame and it will return all messages received until then.

Example:

Server

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "INetwork.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    AppFrame::INetwork* network = AppFrame::createNetwork("Sudi", 80, 2, 2, "none");
    if (network->Error())
        return 1;

    while(1)
    {
        AppFrame::array<AppFrame::NetworkPacket*> p = network->receive();
        printf("Receive %i packets\n", p.size());
        for(AppFrame::u32 i=0;i<p.size();i++)
        {
            printf("Receiving: %i\n", p[i]->Packet_ID);
            p[i]->drop();
        }
        printf("run\n");
    }

    printf("done\n");
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Client

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "INetwork.h"
#include "appArray.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    AppFrame::INetwork* network = AppFrame::createNetwork("Sudi", 500, 1, 0, "none");
    if (network->Error())
        return 1;

    if (network->connect2Peer("localhost", 80))
    {
        printf("connected\n");
    }
    while(1)
    {
        AppFrame::array<AppFrame::NetworkPacket*> p = network->receive();
        printf("Receive %i packets\n", p.size());
        for(AppFrame::u32 i=0;i<p.size();i++)
        {
            printf("Receiving: %i\n", p[i]->Packet_ID);
            p[i]->drop();
        }
    }

    delete network;
    printf("done\n");
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Out of interest, why roll your own network engine when Enet, IrrNet and Raknet are all available and do more?

learning i guess

Well I just wanted to see if i can pull it of...Thats it.

And since it is tcp i will intgrate some irc functions and then use it as chat ystem in my gameengine.

do yourself a favor and activate TCP_NODELAY if you want to use tcp for timecritical actions. It handles with the delayedack/nagle issue.
