NebraskaServer
category: Morphic-Remote
superclass: Model
subclasses:
A Nebraska server has a private world and some collection of clients. It associates a RemoteControlledHand for each client. Redraw events in the world are broadcasted to all connected clients. A Nebraska server can listen on a TCP/IP port and accept new clients. Current version has been modified so that the server serves the world in which it was launched. Other variations are certainly possible.
To start a server, execute the following code:
NebraskaServerMorph serveWorld: World
To start a client, run the following in another image:
NetworkTerminalMorph openAndConnectTo: 'servername'
Fill in your server's hostname for 'servername'. At this point, everything should be working!
Before starting a server, you can tweak these:
BufferedCanvas enabled: false.
BufferedCanvas enabled: true.
At any time you can do these:
NebraskaDebug beginStats
NebraskaDebug showStats
NebraskaDebug showStats: #delays
NebraskaDebug showStats: #bigImage
NebraskaDebug showStats: #FormEncodeTimes
NebraskaDebug killStats
NOTE: if you want to have a local view of the server, you shouldn't use the TCP connections. The problem is that the server will occasionally do a #flush, and it won't work due to single threading. The better solution is to use a LoopBackStringSocket instead of a regular StringSocket, but there is no handy method for that right now....
