The test on the server didn't work perfectly for me :( Connection was OK, initialization was fast. The only problem I had was the control of the character. Sometimes when I pressed a key my character didn't executed the action or when I stop pressing a key the character didn't stop executing the action (ie I press the up arrow key, my character start walking but when I stop pressing the key the character don't stop walking until hit the up arrow key again). This happened quiet often, too often to play an action game correctly. Am I the only one who had that problem ?
I didn't study tofu's sources in depth but as far as I understand, everytime I press an action key a packet is sent on the network to the server, right ? My problem must have something to do with the lag I suppose. Souvarine. Jiba wrote: > Hi all! > > Here is coming my new network engine Tofu! It is destined to Soya-based game, > and relies on UDP.
