New OSCreceiver class #6

Closed frankiezafe closed 6 years ago

frankiezafe commented 6 years ago

Hello,

Here is a proposal to create a "standalone" object to receive messages. It is working but not yet sending messages back to the engine.

The object is configurable without gdscript, via the UI selection_942

The object can autostart when the game starts and stops when it quit, thanks to the _notification() method.

If you're ok with this kind of architecture, i can do something similar for the sender (should a bit easier as there is no thread involved).

it's weird, I thought I merged this PR already.... as for the standalone receiver (or sender), I actually had one at some point with property bindings. As I was struggling with a race condition (due to the threading, indeed) I went back to the current state with an idea of making the UI with GDscript to control it. I am actually not sure about which way I would prefer. In fact, another decision to be made is whether gdosc should be ported to GDNative. When I started working on it, GDnative was still in flux so I didn't bother. I postponed all these questions for later. I am open to discuss the merits of these.
