Lab 2: TCP/UDP Socket Connection

Network and Online Games - Lab 2: TCP/UDP Socket Connection

Proposed Activity

Build a room manager for your videogame.

On your game create 2 scenes:

• Server scene:
  • Probably named “create game” or similar.
  • It starts a socket and waits for incoming messages from the client scene.
  • It answers with the name of the server.
• Client scene:
  • Probably named “join game”.
  • It allows to insert an IP.
  • It connects to a server, knowing it’s IP.
  • It sends a message with the user’s name.
• Both scenes:
  • Bonus: Lead to a waiting room.
  • Bonus: Extend the waiting room with extra information and message exchanges in a chat.
  • Bonus: Accept several connections.

Implement both cases using UDP and using TCP. Extend it as you like.
