- Using the Internet Fish
- ------------------------
-
- This demo works as follows:
-
- * Each invocation listens for connections on a port that is specified at
- startup. It defaults to 2000.
-
- * The fish program starts up in standalone mode - listening but not connected
- to anyone else
-
- * The connect button allows you to specify a host, and port to connect to.
-
- * You can connect to multiple other fish programs.
-
- * When two fish programs connect their exchange information about the other
- fish programs [host,port] which they know about. They then attempt to connect
- to all of these other programs. Each fish program ends up connected to
- every other fish.
-
- * Disconnect will close all connections and reverts the fish to standalone
- mode.
-
- * Quit disconnects and exits the title.
-
- Internet Fish uses the following network-related code that could potentially be
- reused in other titles:
-
- * mqueue.sx implements a message queue class which enables threads to use
- TCP/IP without blocking
-
- * connectm.sx implements a connection manager class which is responsible for
- listening and connecting together multiple applications.
