    std.net.game.link

    What a GameHost sends its packets over, and receives them from.

    A UdpSocket is one, through GameHost.Bind, and so is any Class that implements GameLink, as a test's link that loses packets on purpose does.

    std/net/game/link.fb

    Types

    GameLink interface 

    Public Interface GameLink

    What a GameHost's datagrams go over, as UDP's do: each one whole or not at all, maybe more than once, in no promised order.

    Examples

    // A link that loses every packet, as a test of what a host does then can have.
Class Nowhere Implements GameLink
    Public Property LocalAddress: SocketAddress
        Get => SocketAddress(IpAddress.Loopback, 9)
    End Property

    Public Method Send(bytes: UInt8[], to: SocketAddress) Throws NetError
    End Method

    Public Method Receive(timeout: Duration): (UInt8[], SocketAddress)? Throws NetError => Null

    Public Method Close()
    End Method
End Class

Local host = GameHost(Nowhere(), GameSettings())
Local peer = host.Connect(SocketAddress(IpAddress.Loopback, 7777))
Expect(peer.State == PeerState.CONNECTING)
host.Close()

    • ReadOnly Property LocalAddress: SocketAddress property #

      Where it receives, as the other side sends to it.

    • Method Send(bytes: UInt8[], to: SocketAddress) Throws NetError method #

      Sends bytes to to as one datagram.

    • Method Receive(timeout: Duration): (UInt8[], SocketAddress)? Throws NetError method #

      The next datagram that's come, and where from, waiting for timeout at most, or Null when none came by then. A timeout of 0 takes what's come without waiting.

    • Async Method ReceiveAsync(timeout: Duration): (UInt8[], SocketAddress)? Throws NetError method #

      Receive's Async twin, which waits on the main thread.

    • Method Close() method #

      Closes it, if it holds anything to close.
