A very simple client/server library for multiplayer python games
Launch server.py on your server :
Launch client.py :
Start server :
user@server >>> ./python server.py --tcpport 1234 --udpport 1234 --capacity 10
In the client code :
Only add the client.py file to your project
# Add Client instance to your game
client = Client("127.0.0.1", 1234, 1234, 1235)
# Get room list (room_id, nb_players, capacity)
rooms = client.get_rooms()
# You can join a room using room identifier (ex: first room)
client.join(rooms[0]["id"])
# You can autojoin the first available room client.autojoin()
# Or you can create a new room with client.create_room("room_name")
# In your game main loop
while game_is_running:
# Data to send
data = {"foo": "bar", "baz": "gu"}
# Send data to all players in the room
client.send(data)
# Send data to one player in the room
client.sendto(someone.identifier, data)
# Send data to multiple players in room
players_ids = [player1.identifier, player2.identifier]
client.sendto(players_ids, data)
# Read received messages
messages = client.get_messages()
if len(messages) != 0:
for message in message:
do_something_with_message(message)
Each received message is given with remote player identifier.
