Message formats of libtdegames:
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are two different communication layers, using their own protocols:
|
|
|
|
- the message layer (KMessageIO, KMessageServer, KMessageClient)
|
|
|
|
This is used to send messages from one client (i.e. KGame object)
|
|
to an other one, to a group of other clients, or to all the clients
|
|
connected to the KMessageServer. The messages are arbitrary blocks
|
|
of data, of an arbitrary length.
|
|
This layer is an underlying protocol that isn't game specific at all.
|
|
You shouldn't need to know the message format of the packets. If you
|
|
want to extend the protocol, have a look into KMessageServer API
|
|
reference for a complete list of message types.
|
|
|
|
- the game layer (KGame, KGameIO, KPlayer)
|
|
|
|
This layer uses the message layer to send its specific message packets
|
|
between the objects of the game.
|
|
This layer contains the game specific messages (e.g. addPlayer, setupGame).
|
|
The rest of this file describes this layer.

Game Layer Messages:
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Application Cookie 16 Bit
|
|
Version 8 Bit
|
|
MsgId 16 Bit
|
|
SenderId 16 Bit
|
|
ReceiverId 16 Bit
|
|
Userdata
|
|
|
|
The format of the messages is used internally and there is usually no reason why
|
|
you have to know what it is used for. But as usually != always here are some
|
|
comments on the format. Note that KGame is under development and the content of
|
|
this file could be obsolete. Please result the sourcecode for up-to-date
|
|
information.
|
|
Application Cookie is used to identify the application. This prevents a
|
|
chess game from talking to a poker game.
|
|
Version is the version of KNetworkGame, sender and receiver must be of the same
|
|
version.
|
|
library note: this could be a limitation, as KGame should be backward
|
|
compatible. Maybe change to version must be >= KNETWORKGAME or something less
|
|
restrictive
|
|
MsgId specifies the kind of the message data (see below).
|
|
SenderId is the id of the KGame/KPlayer object which sent the message, it is
|
|
coded like this: the lower 10 bits specify a player and the upper bit
|
|
represent the game id shifted by 10 bits. So we get
|
|
Id=playerId | (gameId<<10);
|
|
ReceiverId is the id of the receiver of the message. It can be either
|
|
a player, a game or a broadcast. For a broadcast the Id is set to 0
|
|
in the other cases the coding is as with the senderId
|
|
Userdata is the data of the user (wow ;-))
