This is meant to replace the relay eventually, but for now it's a new
option, like BT or SMS, to be chosen. Protocol is handled in common/
code for the first time, meaning that linux and android interact without
the need to keep two platforms in sync. Linux uses lib-mosquitto, and
Android uses eclipse's Paho client (the generic java version, not the
one that uses four-year-old Service patterns and so crashes for SDK >=
26.)
Lots of changes adding a games-list view to the app from which you
create new games, open and delete existing ones, etc. There's still
plenty that's unimplemented, but it's already more useful for testing
and development. Which is the point.
Ideally the comms module wouldn't go through its connecting routine in
order to join a game. To that end I added a join() method to relay.py
and code to call it. Joins happen (pairing games, starting new ones,
etc.), but after that communication doesn't. First part of fixing that
would be to make cookieID persistent and transmit it back with the rest
of what join sends (since it's used by all the messages currently sent
in a connected state), but I suspect there's more to be done, and even
that requires a fair number of changes on the relay side. So all that's
wrapped in #ifdef RELAY_VIA_HTTP (and turned off.)
works between linux and Android clients. Required renaming so struct
names and names of fields within match in c and java code. The point
is to test this as the foundation of rematch: now you have to type in
a deviceID in order to invite, which clearly sucks for users. Either
that goes away, or it's replaced with something that scans existing
games and lists past opponents as possible invitees.
the case where one of several guests wants to rematch is a hard
problem for later.) Requires passing old-style relayIDs (connname plus
device index) when devIDs aren't available, which they may not always
be.
for Rematch): works for linux version, provided you know the relayID
of the device you're inviting. Added to common/ a stream-saving
version of java's NetLaunchInfo I'll probably want to use there too
for cross-platform compatibility (there being no jni support for
json.)
An invitation works with relay and (fake) SMS on, and the invited
client connects successfully using both (the second to arrive being
correctly identified as a dupe.) While the game can be played after,
only SMS messages are being received. And opening a saved game
crashes.
devid you tossed your relayID and reregistered. Which meant any
existing messages meant for your relayID were orphaned, and any open
games didn't know who they belonged to until you reconnected to them
with your new relayID. So: modify the UDP protocol (though not on
Android yet) to include both relayID and devid with registration, with
one or the other an empty string if not present or not changed from
earlier. I can't fix existing clients that are dropping their
relayIDs, but when one does a re-connect without a relayID I can look
it up from the existing game record, then reuse it rather than issue a
new one. Better than nothing -- and that protocol will be obsolete
soon anyway.
