Day #30, The End has Come.....

Sun, 09/30/2018 - 22:19 — MarkO

Well, I did give it a BIG TRY for the First 1/3 of the Month...

I kind of have a Server working, but the Results are unreliable, and nothing to call successful...

I will be more prepared, Next Time.....

Day #09, Too Much "other stuff"

Sun, 09/09/2018 - 21:26 — MarkO

No Progress today....

Too Much dealing with other things in life...

Day #08, Refining the Server Back End...

Sat, 09/08/2018 - 16:07 — MarkO

I am testing an simple Echo Server to sync my Classic Computer Clients..

Two Steps forward, and One Step back....

Day #06, more Linux Socket Code

Thu, 09/06/2018 - 14:24 — MarkO

I'm looking into more Linux Socket Code....

I hope to have a Working Server Example for a Simple, Multi-Client Echo Server in the next day or so.. This would allow games that are Driven by one of the Clients, to communicate with the various other Clients.

For Games that are driven by the Server, I am thinking that Multi-Threading is a needed feature, but not for reading the Sockets, just for keeping the Game Engine running ALL the Time, The Sockets can be opened in a Non-Blocking Mode, that probably can be run from the Main Routine, or placed into it's own Thread..

Day #03, More, on The Back End..

Mon, 09/03/2018 - 21:17 — MarkO

I am working on Writing a simple program to Handle the TCP/IP Sockets, Generate a Game Space and Synchronize the individual Clients that are connected to it...

Maybe a multi-player Battle Ship Game, or a simple Maze Game for starters....
