once UDP sockets and/or per-device (not per-game) connections come
along. Lots of changes, most not involving code flow but a couple
that did. So far two gtk games can connect and exchange moves.
Haven't tested reconnection or store-and-forward.
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.
of which is TBD). When a new-version client connects, store the value
it's passed. At first this will let me track how quickly people
upgrade. Later I can use it to let different clients have different
formats to their messages e.g. to proxy.
existing store-and-forward system. With this checkin a robot-vs-robot
game plays for quite a few moves without either game every loaded into
the foreground (via a BoardActivity instance on Android), with all
moves transmitted as a result of relay checks. One of the games
refuses to open later, however, and there are certainly other bugs.
And I'm not sure what happens when a message sent no-conn (without a
cookie ID) is received in the foreground. But this is progress.
duplicating set of sockets owned by a cref, moving it from cinfo into
cref and caching a copy outside when cref is unclaimed (after which no
change is possible until it's claimed again.)
reconnect. I was putting both (i.e. the same device twice) in the
same game. Now I detect this based on the seed being duplicated and
treat the device as having failed to ACK then proceed with the CONNECT
as if it were new. Tested pretty heavily but only with two-device
games.
(including seed so it's harder to spoof); respond to that by setting a
DEAD column in the db and flagging the device as gone. Notify any
connected device of the fact. Refuse to accept new connections to
that game. As already-connected devices reconnect, allow them to do
so but send a new status message that their game is dead. Not heavily
tested yet.
memory. Confirmed that devices can hookup without ever being
connected at the same time and that the messages survive a relay
reboot. No further testing yet.
recycling of crefs between when devices in a game connect. This plus
movement of messages into the DB will re-enable games played without
the two devices ever being connected at the same time.
ALLCOND until it's time to kill the cref. When one device connects
and leaves the cref is recycled, so when a new device joins and is
assigned the same game and a new cref is initialized the number of
players already registered must be set from the db entry; do that.
HostRec. This fixes failure to reconnect so that now a complete game
is possible (gtk version) without the two devices every being
connected at the same time.
game works to completion with both signing up as guests (no -s) with
one local and one remote player (identical commandlines.) Not yet
tested: if any signs up as a host, reconnecting rather than
connecting, etc. This is just a snapshot.
connect first, guests second, with clear error messages if the order's
wrong. This seems to make it simpler for users to get a connection
right. Code holding multiple games worth of hosts and guests in a
cref is gone.
that all devices must be connected initially and that it's all memory
based so a crash wipes stored messages.) Accept messages for
forwarding when in the MISSING state, not just the ALLHERE state.
Store messages that can't be sent now, and send any that have
accumulated when a host reconnects. When a cref loses its last
connection, keep it around unless it has no messages stored (as will
be the case when a game ends.)
name. All new connections are stored together, and after each
connection an attempt is made to build one complete game with a host
and however many guests. All remaining devices are moved into a new
pending record in the same state, and the completed game is treated as
always. Seems to work, though nearly 20% of linux instances are
failing to connect the relay run from the new test script samename.sh.
Need to figure out why.
Also added logging of seed and connname to comms.c since games
launched together can no longer be certain to connect on the relay.
This allows the test script to identify joined games from their logs
and detect success or failure.
This checkin changes the relay protocol, so relay and clients will
both need to be upgraded.
setting connName when all in a game are present. Second, have every
host include in connections a random number. That number is made part
of the connName and in general used to test whether a host belongs in
a particular game. Add this "seed" to web interface. Means new
versions for relay protocol and game stream format. Latter is handled
correctly so older games can be opened.
