- SDL_net 1.2
-
- The latest version of this library is available from:
- http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/
-
- This is an example portable network library for use with SDL.
- It is available under the GNU Library General Public License.
- The API can be found in the file SDL_net.h
- This library supports UNIX, Windows, and BeOS. MacOS support is being written.
-
- The demo program is a chat client and server.
- The chat client requires the sample GUI library available at:
- http://www.libsdl.org/projects/GUIlib/
- The chat client connects to the server via TCP, registering itself.
- The server sends back a list of connected clients, and keeps the
- client updated with the status of other clients.
- Every line of text from a client is sent via UDP to every other client.
-
- Note that this isn't necessarily how you would want to write a chat
- program, but it demonstrates how to use the basic features of the
- network library.
-
- Enjoy!
