SYMBIAN :: MULTI.PLAYER.DLL

Description

Provides a simple Bluetooth messaging interface and implements TCP/IP based communications for testing the applications in the emulator.

Notes

I'm using this code in IntensiBlast for multi-player gaming. We are running the game on three phones (nearly :-) without problems.

Usage

Create a client and a server instance like this:

On the client side:
  iTransport = CMultiPlayerClient::NewL();
  iProtocol = CYourProtocol::NewL( *iTransport, *this /* is-a MEventReceiver */ );

On the server side:
  iTransport = CMultiPlayerServer::NewL( iNumberOfExpectedClients );
  iProtocol = CYourProtocol::NewL( *iTransport, *this /* is-a MEventReceiver */ );
	

Implement the packet-based communication inside CYourProtocol. Look at the interfaces of CMultiPlayerClient and CMultiPlayerServer.

The code will then work on the phones (via Bluetooth) and in the emulator (via TCP/IP).
