Add networking support #23

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

Look into open source (MIT/BSD/Zlib licensed) networking libraries and add 
support for this.

enet: http://enet.bespin.org is one candidate.

For NAT punch through we could use Google's libjingle:

See the integration of libjingle and enet described here:

Is this still on the table for the near future at all? I don't see how a game 
engine can be viable without any form of network support. 

In my opinion, Enet would definitely be the best choice, though,as it's been 
proven in a lot of other games already.

The project depends on contributors.

Are you offering to contribute anything towards an Enet integration?

I don't know if it would be good to use a Lua library for having both C/C++ and 
Lua ready functions:

LuaSocket (MIT Licensed):
http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/
Can use both UDP and/or TCP.

Sockets is gpl, and gamekit exclusively uses permissive licenses (bsd, mit, 
zlib etc) so it is no option.

this does not seem like a hard thing to do?  enet can be added to gamekit in 
much the same way that bullet was, i think.  If i have time i will start 
working on that next month.

By the way, NAT punchthrough works fine with enet.

See my test at https://github.com/erwincoumans/enet
