Unigine::Socket Class

Header: #include <UnigineStreams.h>
Inherits from: Stream

This class provides basic functionality for network interaction using stream sockets.

Usage Example#

In this example we create UDP sockets: server and five clients.

  • The server sends broadcast packets containing the ID of the receiving client.
  • Each client processes only the messages, that were addressed to it.
  • In the world's update() method the server sends messages addressed to clients 2 and 5.

In the AppWorldLogic.h header file we describe our client and server and declare server and array of clients.

Source code (C++)

};

#endif // __APP_WORLD_LOGIC_H__

In the AppWorldLogic.cpp implementation file we do the following:

  • In the AppWorldLogic::init() method we initialize our clients.
  • In the AppWorldLogic::update() we check which keys were pressed and send messages to corresponding clients:
    • Client 2 - on ENTER key
    • Client 5 - on WASD keys
    Here we also call update() method for all clients to process server's messages.

Here are the AppWorldLogic::init() and AppWorldLogic::update() methods:

Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.cpp
#include <UnigineControls.h>
#include <UnigineGame.h>

using namespace Unigine;

/* ... */

int AppWorldLogic::init() 
{
	//initializing clients IDs
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
		clients[i].setID(i+1);

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::update() 
{
	// getting player's controls
	ControlsPtr controls = Game::getPlayer()->getControls();

	// sending messages on keys pressed to clients 2 and 5
	if (controls->clearState(Controls::STATE_USE))
		server_socket.send_message(2, "SWT");
	else if (controls->clearState(Controls::STATE_FORWARD))
		server_socket.send_message(5, "F");
	else if (controls->clearState(Controls::STATE_BACKWARD))
		server_socket.send_message(5, "B");
	else if (controls->clearState(Controls::STATE_MOVE_LEFT))
		server_socket.send_message(5, "L");
	else if (controls->clearState(Controls::STATE_MOVE_RIGHT))
		server_socket.send_message(5, "R");

	// updating clients
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
		clients[i].update();

	return 1;
}
