[Enigma-devel] Message passing

[Johannes Fortmann]

I'm a bit confused as to how the current planning for message passing 
is:

There's a "server" part and a "client" part, both in their respective 
namespaces. The server is responsible for handling the overall game 
state, the client handles the local game state.

Now my basic approach would be to build a message-passing interface 
with a message class (already partly implemented) and send messages 
between server and client. This would mean that the messages have to go 
through a central function (handle_message), and could be redirected, 
for example to a network_client class. The server could then send its 
messages to all "connected" clients. However, this is not implemented: 
the server calls methods Msg* instead.

Perhaps this is planned. Is it?
Shall I write a "network" class for posing as host/client and passing 
messages around in the network? Do we use reliable or unreliable 
packets?

Greetings,
Johannes
