multiplayer: send and receive coords and angles

[ollioikarinen]

Hi!

After about 5 years I'm back - things have come and go but JPCT stays and stays strong!

I have a question about multiplayering, how to send and receive object's coordinates and angles. I have a game (an applet) with a planet and 2 ships. The applet creates a socket connection to my GameServer.java which receives strings and sends them back to both.

I manage to send a string like this:

out.println(id+"|"+shipMe.getTranslation());

...where id is an unique int (so you don't deal your own coordinates). But I have a trouble to find a way to "set" this translation to the other ship. And the same for the angles...

Any help - a code-snipplet with Float.valueOf(thewholemessagewhichneedstobeparsed.trim()).floatValue(); parsing examples - would be great!

Thanks everybody, especially Helge!

P.S. It's late and too many lines of code, maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow by myself.

Hi and welcome back! In the news-section, you'll find a new example for downloading that does client-/server-stuff. Maybe it contains some helpful stuff.
