Datagram API

Send and receive datagrams and query latency

Structs

`Net`

struct Net {
    handle: Int
}

Member Functions

`new`

fn Net::new(host: String) -> Net

Connects to the specified host and port

`write`

fn Net::write(self, enum_payload: Any)

Send a datagram (a game specific enum)

The datagram is unreliable, so you have to keep sending until an answer is returned. or you give up and move to another “phase” in the game state.

`read`

fn Net::read(self, emum_payload: Any) -> Bool

Receive a datagram (must be an enum)

The datagram is unreliable, so you need to send an answer even if same (or similar) request has been handled earlier.

Example

endpoint := Net::new("server.example.com:55000")

mut game_enum: GameSpecificEnum

while endpoint.read(&game_enum) {
match game_enum {
// handle the variants
}
}

`latency`

fn Net::latency(self) -> Int

Return the latency in milliseconds
