Networking

[rickbatka]

hybrid client / server / ad hoc: clients trust their own events, server controls the AI. server believes clients as well. server also controls game state / win conditions, etc. server basically controls everything except physics, interactions. server holds all objects.

Finalized Architecture and Requirements

• [x] Client server network pattern
• [x] Serializable command objects with parameters
• [x] Reference ids on all objects
• [x] Collision avoidance on id assignment.
  • using objectcounter*maxplayers+playerid modular avoidance
• [x] Factories that deliver network specific components based on game type (client/server)
• [x] Data sharing handshake
• [x] Start menu for choosing client/server
• [x] Simple synchronized CRUD on game objects

Cleanup

• [ ] get command construction out of constructors
• [ ] Provide simple calls to create and queue commands throughout the system (maybe a commander singleton XD)
• [ ] Figure out and pin down reflection based instantiation of components on game object
