To come back to your previous post, you could indeed go in the painter class and turn it into a "speaker", the python client is a lot smaller and easier to digest though :-) > > Lastly, is the Netrek client/server protocol documented somewhere outside of reverse-engineering the code? I've Googled quite a bit, but can't find it, if its out there. There is a small description in the MacTrek developer guide, but the network layer is like dark magic, it's out there but only few have seen it in real life. I never managed to get UDP support running :-( there is also a java version which is not maintained actively but is cross platform and Object Oriented. Good luck and this will be a very interesting project to see, ahum hear. Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
