Week 1 Report

What I did

  • Worked on Project Spec/Schedule with the team
  • Discussed direction and design of project with the group.

What I'm doing this week

  • Working on networking between a client and server project.
  • Constructing Config File (Likely XML)
  • Creating logging construct to log all messages passed between client and server(w/timestamp).
  • Making setup executable to modify Config file

What I'm doing next week

  • Finishing whatever I didn't finish this week.
  • Working with the Engine/Logic team to serialize and deserialize objects

Week 2 Report

What I did

  • Created a basic network manager that can send messages from the server to the client
  • Server can communicate with clients via CIN and clients respond back with acks
    • Update: Network and Game Logic is integrated.
  • Updated the Packet type to hold 1024 bytes as data
    • Current assumption is that (de)serialization is going to copy and paste using memcpy and sizeof(class)
  • Tested communication between clients on different lab machines.
  • Created Configuration Manager (uses config.ini)
    • Using CM in a few places.

Notes

  • These should find their way to other parts of the wiki.
  • If you get an error that says it can't find dxd9, go to Properties. Under Configuration Properties, there is a VC++ Directories. In Include and Library Directories, link to the Direct X installation "C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK %28June 2010%29\Include" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK %28June 2010%29\Library" respectively.
  • Follow this guide to enable a custom shared library for both client and server: MSDN Shared Library Guide

What I'm doing next week

  • Finishing whatever I didn't finish this week.
  • Working with the Engine/Logic team to serialize and deserialize objects
