I came up with some data catching system for objects that should update over the server:
Using UDP enables you to recognise that your data will be dropped, but design around that. In guaranteeing order and reliability, it must perform resending of data that gets dropped and wait until it arrives. TCP runs on the same network later as UDP, but it hides the reality of the network from the user.
If logic.getExitKey() in _events:Īsync with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:Ĭoncerning UDP / TCP, it’s not that difficult a decision: Requires aiohttp & Python 3.5+ import asyncio I’ve been using it for a webserver and some other projects, and it’s been very useful. I would be interested in evaluating something like asyncio for a multiplayer game. And if this cause problems with the render before threading finished there will be more errors on low-end demo is a god start point to create my own network-frame If as Monster say the operation is most running parallel I didn’t need Threading. and of course 2 Players need two connections But I will give it a non-blocking is a way to deal with. Then, to read a message, it should continue to call recv() until it has read an entire message or an error for login and UDP for game-played: so you close the first socket an recreate the same as other constructor or with complete new I am not sure if the packets that will send to one server from 2 clients will be blocking each are there some tests?īut UDP is not every time faster. What Ineed to define is an own message-based protocol on top of TCP in order to differentiate message boundaries. There’s no guarantee that every send() call by one peer results in a single recv() call by the other peer receiving the exact data sent. TCP/IP is a stream-based protocol, not a message-based protocol. More technically but less intensive? or should I do this as always over properties (maybe less accurate?) Only objects in this list will be updated dynamically (players, some dynamic props, etc…) others maybe at specific time. Now both can agree and play together or not. By starting as client/fellow player the client will search for each open port in network. (?)īy creating lobby the “host” will open ports. Of course depends on the game but the connection between Server and Client are same.

How to setup ping to I was thinking there is an in build method or class I can use for that.īut the ping should work parallel to the package I send for each client (posi, etc…) If you don’t wanna mess with sockets and whatnot, something like enet will make life a lot easier. Convenient way to keep a TCP data stream going between scenes (like if you’re downloading something) Keeping the connection alive during long load times (I’d just assume move back to the main thread when that’s done) Since you’re on LAN you could get away with a lot more, but you probably* won’t need more than 4k.īest to avoid threading for the meat of gameplay b/c what monster said. Which Buff_size should I use max 4kib or more? <- by knowing that depended on that what I send.Ĥk is fine. Socket type: Pretty much what haidme said - unless you have a protocol for reliable UDP, in which case I’d use that for (almost) everything. Add support for AF_INET6 if you’re feeling edgy, but at least have IPV4. Which socket() constructor is useful for games (SOCK_STREAM, AF_INET)? TCP/IP4 owner.isPlayingAction(layer=0), owner.getActionName(layer=0), owner.getActionFrame(layer=0) Determine which animation to play based on keys. Send keys to server & propagate that to all clients. Possible to get played Animation without Property? Maintain your own list of networked objects so you aren’t wasting cpu/bandwidth on static objects. Not quite sure what you mean so I took a stab in the dark: Update by update_objList from client useful? Put an ID on your packet and count the time it takes for the server to reply back with the same ID.ĭepends on the game, may have to be more specific. Threading is really useful.Ĭlass ServerInitThread(threading.Thread): TCP only for login or anything that needs to be exactly as is(like chat or when you choose character in the lobby ). And yes use UDP to send position/rotation…everything. Me and some guys made a long ago a multiplayer game with this as base. You need to start the server and then start 2 clients in order to try it. I’m giving you the converted to 2.78 blends…try and fix the problem I had. So take you time and examine the server.blend and client.blend. Probably it is just a new python syntax but I was too lazy to go and fix it. I’ve tried to convert and it starts but I had some problems with dumps data and then sending it to client. If you convert it to bge python 3.0 it should work just fine with 2.78 too.
Here is the good old 2.49b client-server example.
