message over and over when getting updated by GCM. The problem
occurred when one device had an un-ACKable initial message still in
its queue. I call resendAll a lot, which caused that message to get
resent to the other game which then replied without being able to ACK
it so it remained to be sent again. This would continue until users
moved forward in the game. The fix is to add a backoff timer to
resendAll() so that it can't loop. The timer is reset when an ackable
and new message is received, meaning there's been a change in what's
available to resend. And since users calling resendAll manually
expect it to do something, add a force param that ignores the backoff.
seems to fix the problem (but needs a lot of testing.)
which they're communicated to the device. Device is expected to have
a platform-specific notion of ID which the relay stores in a new
devices table and indexes with a 32-bit number which is returned to
the device -- which is encouraged but not required to use it in lieu
of the longer ID in future communications. Modify linux client and
test script to use the relay-supplied id. Some of this is commented
out for now.
save what it had ACK'd leaving the game permanently broken. Do that
by adding a new method game_saveSucceeded() called after the client
claims to have committed bytes returned by game_writeToStream() to
disk. In that method comms updates the value it'll use in subseqent
ACKs.

devices in summary DB so, e.g., we can quickly determine what games
care when a devices becomes available via BT. First use of this is
notifying when a remote game's deleted -- least that's the plan. This
commit just adds to the DB and scans the DB to build a map of
device->gameIDs array.
that implies a connection) is sent and received by no-conn code. Use
flags to determine if comms can support no-conn sending without making
up the message only to have it fail to send.
without user having to open the game, which will e.g. allow a host to
assign tiles, or a robot to move, without the phone's owner noticing
there's a message. This is on a branch because it may never work.
device id, to relay, one for each stored game that's communicating via
the relay. Relay parses out each relayID. Next relay can use these
to look up whether messages are available and reply with that, and
device can put up a notification.
duplicate initial packets a bit better. This change goes with the
next checkin on the relay side: move to modified store-and-forward so
devices can connect at different times once the game is established.

This is the foundation for doing real SMS transport on handhelds.
Currently a full robot game works for two gtk clients provided the
server is launched first.
postEmptyEvent; pass transport type with incoming packets so they can
be rejected if not on expected channel (to stop IR, which is always
on, from injecting into a BT game); do BT work and fire timers even
when menu is down; don't let robot run until after board is drawn for
the first time; on startup, don't let robot run until after board is
drawn once. Up version to b3.
and use it to send and check for heartbeats over any transport.
Caller must supply a reset proc which is called when heartbeat hasn't
been received in too long. No changes required to comms protocol, but
that means the heartbeat interval is fixed at compile time: can't be
negotiated, and the two ends had better agree. Currently tested with
linux host and PalmOS guest, where only the first heartbeat failure is
recovered from. So there's some debugging to be done still.
