Remove state info from ViewSync stream - ViewSync packet version 2? #33

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
ViewSync contains 'view' information as well as some state data eg. planet.

We should investigate separating what is needed for view linking to create the 
panoramic view from any "state" data.

* streamline the UDP datagram by removing information that is unnecessary

* look at using binary (BCD) packet format rather than ASCII representation of  
number. Would reduce the packet size by a good amount, could be negotiated by 
the view master?

* come up with a better method for sharing and sync'ing "state" information 
between Google Earth instances. eg. the change of Planet should be treated like 
someone turning on/off particular Layers, or choosing View->Sun. Related to 
another Issue here.
