[suggestion] sketch to see all servers

[clankill3r]

It might be good to have an example to receive all servers (a bit like the Simple Server.app).

It can be easy for quick testing etc. The reason i made it is that processing allows me to do way more then Simple Server.app and sometimes i like to test small things.

Here is a bad example, but good as start.

import codeanticode.syphon.*;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;

PGraphics[] canvas;
SyphonClient[] clients;

int nClients;

void setup() {
  size(400, 400, P2D);
  frameRate(1);

  HashMap<String, String>[] allServers = SyphonClient.listServers();

  int nServers = allServers.length;

  canvas = new PGraphics[nServers];
  clients = new SyphonClient[nServers];

  for (int i = 0; i < allServers.length; i++) {

    String appName = allServers[i].get("AppName");
    String serverName = allServers[i].get("ServerName");

    clients[i] = new SyphonClient(this, appName, serverName);
  }

  nClients = nServers;

}

void draw() {

  background(0);

  int targetIndex =  frameCount % nClients;
  SyphonClient targetClient = clients[targetIndex];

  if (targetClient.available()) {
    canvas[targetIndex] = targetClient.getGraphics(canvas[targetIndex]);
    image(canvas[targetIndex], 0, 0, width, height);  
  }
}

put your code in SelectServer example https://github.com/Syphon/Processing/commit/e882e5c02a3add54da6d9fa31b497a13b65a252c

A nice refinement could be to use controlP5 to populate a drop-down list with all servers. If you create a PR with this improvement, I will merge it for the next release :-)

I have to many things on my list but I will keep it in mind. I might do it when I need it :)
