Technical Implementation

From DominAnt

Just some comments to myself:

  • Server controls what is on the map (the client shall not assume anything)

Internal actions

  • Show Map
  • Show Map at pos x,y
  • Show Map at nest n
  • Help about n
  • Show spieces chat with prepared message/location x,y

etc

Client <-> Server

  • All actions are asynchronous
  • Send all waiting actions (in client) to one server script using a background thread.
    • A json-list with actions
    • All actions have a serial number (unique to user and say 5 min?) and info on what to perform
    • If the action already took place (serial number) just send the updated info (for that action)
    • The server responds with apropriate data on all actions or error messages and also a part with new data (that might have been changed)
  • Notification from server if nearby actions take place, the notifications shall contain enough data to update the info in the client (typically attacks)
