ATGE: ASP and TCP
The ATGE libraries worked great using ASP.NET pages as a front end. I also added support for network sockets,so turns can be sent over TCP. That worked fine also.
Things I think I learned:
- MS Visual Web Developer 2008 Express worked quite well to create the ASP.NET pages. It also provides a webserver so you can test your pages. Also, it is free.
- On an ASP page, a button click causes a page load
- In order to pass my objects around, I used the Session property
- If you initialize your object and put it in the Session during the page load, be sure to check if it already exists!
Next up… more serialization experimentation. I have a feeling I am going to have some Type issues. The Game specific Data class could be different for each game and the ATGE library is responsible for serializing it… at least that is the plan.
