Hi all! Here is coming my new network engine Tofu! It is destined to Soya-based game, and relies on UDP. It uses several original technics like acknowledging packet and sending again non-acknowledged packets AFTER updating them, or the existence of "inhibited states" inspired like in biological models. It also uses a method vaguely inspired by aspect-oriented-programming, which allows Tofu to be written in less than 1000 lines of code, including the demo :-)
This version of Tofu has been successfully tested with up to 6 or 7 clients. But we were lacking people to try a higher number of clients ! This is why I propose a big testing party on Saturday the 5, at 20 o clock (French hour). Anyone is welcome ! To launch the client, there are 2 possibilities : * download the binary package (Linux x686, warning 20 MB !) http://nekeme.net/~jiba/static_tofu_demo.tar.bz2 Uncompress it, cd inside it and then: ./run_demo --client <LOGIN> nekeme.net where <LOGIN> is the name of your choice (a new character is automatically created if the login doesn't exist). * or install Soya SVN, as well as tofu_udp (present at the root of Soya's SVN), and launch: python ./tofu_udp/test/demo.py --client <LOGIN> nekeme.net where <LOGIN> is the name of your choice (a new character is automatically created if the login doesn't exist).
