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.
into the java world by making it a util_ctxt function. Do same on
linux to test. We'll see how it is -- and can back this commit out if
there's no improvement.
to send a message from a client immediately after its initial message
but init-message dupe-detection in comms will drop that because only
one channel-0 message is expected -- the initial connection message.
So don't encourage platform code to enable the feature before common
code can deliver the message.
RECONN or CONN that lists the game as full. This means we get the
all-green icon (or the A in the gtk case) when in a consummated game
rather than only when all devices are actually connected.
message to be sent next time it does. And since the cookieID will
change and should be there already anyway, remove it. (Should remove
the hostID too for the same reason.)
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.
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.
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.
cookie winds up connecting to the old game -- by flagging a cref as
full and no longer accepting connections without connNames even when
in the MISSING state. Required a protocol changes so that devices get
their connNames as early as possible.
ALLHERE message and connName: change relay protocol so cookie is
included in RECONNECT message, and hostIDs are not assigned until
ALLHERE, and change host-to-game matching to use connName first but
fall back to cookie. This fixes nearly all cases failing to reconnect
after relay goes down.
base64-encoded data as the messages. Make necessary changes to comms.
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.
while heartbeat feature was enabled. Fixed the problem on Linux, but experience on Treo650
is still better without HB feature, so turning it off on Palm. This seems ready for beta,
but will test a bit more.
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.
that a new game's begun without dropping the connection. On Palm,
remove connection-drop on new game. With this change starting a new
game takes imperciptible time, down from 30 seconds.
running the old game: the host may reply, but guest must not take that
as evidence of a connection having been established: don't remove sent
messages (this isn't an ACK), and don't assert later on.
