- Description
- ===========
- This is a DirectPlay 8 client/server sample. The client comes in two flavors.
- A console based version, and a D3D client. The D3D client can optionally
- be run as screen saver by simply copying mazeclient.exe to your
- \winnt\system32\ and renaming it to mazeclient.scr. This will make
- it a screen saver that will be detected by the display control panel.

- ============
- How to use MazeClient:
- If you run "mazeclient.exe" then you'll be in "settings mode".
- A dialog box with various settings appears.
-
- If you run "mazeclient.exe /t" then you'll be in "Test mode" where
- you don't have to connect to a server, or you can search and join
- a server game. There are few simple commands you can type when running
- mazeclient in "test mode":
- 'a': Will turn auto-pilot on/off, but when moving about.
- There's isn't colision detection code so you can go through walls.
- 'r': Will turn reflections on/off.
-
- If you run "mazeclient.exe /s" then you'll be in "Screen Saver mode" on
- auto-pilot. This mode will auto-connect to a server, using the settings
- from "Setttings Mode". If a server is not found, it will run without
- connecting to a server. It will also exit upon mouse/keyboard input.
-
- How to use MazeConsoleClient:
- Run it from the cmd line, and it will automatically search for a
- session on the local subnet. If you specify a IP address at the cmd
- prompt, as in "MazeConsoleClient 255.255.255.255", it will search for
- a session at that IP address. If a server is not found or the session
- is lost, then it will exit automatically. Hit Crtl-C to close the
- session.
-
- How to use MazeServer:
- Run it from the cmd line and it will automatically creates a host session
- that clients can join.
-
- MazeServer.exe takes an optional command line parameter to set the size of the maze.
- For example:
-
- mazeserver.exe /size 16 128
-
- will set the maze to be 16 wide, and 128 high. The width and height are restricted to
- these numbers: 16, 32, 64, or 128.
-
- Once started, the server will display a simple command prompt to control the server.

-
- "help"

- "ct" or "clienttimeout"
