Public Methods

Method	Description
CheckServer ( Primitive server ) : Primitive	Test if a server is available for connection. Do not call this method at a high frequency (> 1 per second).
Connect ( Primitive server, Primitive auto ) : Primitive	Connect to a server.
Disconnect ( ) : Primitive	Disconnect the client from the server.
GetClients ( ) : Primitive	Get a list of current connected clients.
SendMessage ( Primitive message ) : Primitive	Send a message to the server.
UpdateDynamic ( Primitive data ) : Primitive	Update client data when using the auto message passing. This is for small quantities of frequently changing data, like sprite coordinates. this method uses the last updated client data stored on the client and is therefore fast.
UpdateStatic ( Primitive data ) : Primitive	Update client data when using the auto message passing. This is for larger quantities of infrequently changing data, like client configuration. This method uses data stored and retrieved from the server so may be slower than UpdateDynamic since it waits for server retreived data, guaranteeing that all client data is fully synced.

Method Details

CheckServer() public static method

Test if a server is available for connection. Do not call this method at a high frequency (> 1 per second).

public static CheckServer ( Primitive server ) : Primitive
server	Primitive	The server connection ip:port (e.g. "192.168.1.60:100"). /// This value is returned by LDServer.Start.
return	Primitive

Connect() public static method

Connect to a server.

public static Connect ( Primitive server, Primitive auto ) : Primitive
server	Primitive	The server connection ip:port (e.g. "192.168.1.60:100"). /// This value is returned by LDServer.Start.
auto	Primitive	Enable auto message passing "True" or "False". /// If this is used (recommended) then all client data is passed via server to all other clients, /// and no processing of send and receive events is required. /// The data is updated to arrays of data (indexed by client name) that is returned from the Update methods. /// The auto option should be the same for server and all clients.
return	Primitive

Disconnect() public static method

Disconnect the client from the server.

public static Disconnect ( ) : Primitive
return	Primitive

GetClients() public static method

Get a list of current connected clients.

public static GetClients ( ) : Primitive
return	Primitive

SendMessage() public static method

Send a message to the server.

public static SendMessage ( Primitive message ) : Primitive
message	Primitive	The message may be any variable including an array.
return	Primitive

UpdateDynamic() public static method

Update client data when using the auto message passing. This is for small quantities of frequently changing data, like sprite coordinates. this method uses the last updated client data stored on the client and is therefore fast.

public static UpdateDynamic ( Primitive data ) : Primitive
data	Primitive	The data for this client to propagate to other clients.
return	Primitive

UpdateStatic() public static method

Update client data when using the auto message passing. This is for larger quantities of infrequently changing data, like client configuration. This method uses data stored and retrieved from the server so may be slower than UpdateDynamic since it waits for server retreived data, guaranteeing that all client data is fully synced.

public static UpdateStatic ( Primitive data ) : Primitive
data	Primitive	The data for this client to propagate to other clients.
return	Primitive
