Summary

TOWRITE

What's Included

The Basics:

• core/src/com/mygdx/game/ MyGdxGame

  • The classic LibGDX main game class.
    You'll find helpful comments (60% done) and code very similar to what you got while following the tutorial. I invite you to take a good, long look at the syntax of the Socket object you will interact with, as there are some slight differences. Featured events: "connect", "socketID", and a bonus "pong" event further showcasing how to retrieve sent data.

• server/ index.js

  • The basic Node.JS server.
    Nothing here you didn't see in the tutorial, but you'll also have to look at this file to understand what's going on. Featured events: "connection", "socketID", "disconnect", a bonus "myPing" (fun fact: "ping" is a reserved event name, so we can't use it).

The Technical Stuff:

• core/src/com/guy/ Core Networking Classes

  • TOWRITE

• desktop/src/com/guy/ Desktop Implementation

  • TOWRITE

  • TOWRITE
