Multigamer

In net directory, a ang game, version multi-player on local network, use Multicast (so work only on LAN).

The game : same as ang, but all players must collaborate for destroy a maximum of stars.

Usage:

angm

For checking multicast working, and timings on your host/network :

angm_net_test # can be run multiple in same host and/or on distinct host

On my host, I get

23 ms between application on same host
30 ms between application on distinct host, same LAN

Done:

auto discovery of player, first player present is the 'master'
Send master current planet/star configuration to new players
Player position/speed/accelerations are replicates on each other players
Star destructions are replicates
Keyboard textual input are sending/display on all other player
Multicast for winxp, win 7 ok, withe 1.3p362, (Linux to be checked)

TODO:

start/end/restart game
introduction, help
transmition of game parameter to all (nb star, coefs...), current version need to be exactly identique for each gamer
display list of current players, with gamer name

Inspiration

Demo of gosu Raster file came directly from these. Code is remasterised a lot

Physics

Newton law ( F=K.M.m/Dist**2 ) give a gameplay too reactive, so I use my own gravity version :) Linear low attraction : ( F=K.M.m/Dist ) give a gameplay too smoth.

so i used : F=max( Newton law, Linear law), this give realism when planet is closed, smooth mouvement when spaceship is far away of all planet.
