Question-
I have spent all weekend digging through this code
1- I love it!
but
2- I am still struggling a bit
question- on the youtube video the "server list" screen WORKS!- but on the package I purchased it does not
I am *******HOPING********* to get this functionality:
a- user can start a game
b- other users can see the game show up in the lobby
c- users can just click on the game in the lobby to JOIN it
*** AT NO TIME SHOULD THE USERS HAVE TO TYPE IN AN IP ADDRESS***
NOW- here is how the code works:
a- user can start a game in the lobby- other users can see it - but NOONE can join it- it just beeps at you when you try
b- a user can start a game via the "direct" screen- but the OTHER users have to type in an IP address to join
this DOES work- nicely- but making them type an IP is not going to work for me
(I am targetting the Ouya- so typing in a ip address is extra , extra painful since its controller based with no keyboard)
I am HOPING to actually get both of those things to work together- so user's dont have to type IP addresses..
I am curious- why have the lobby screen with the nicely populated game list if the rest of the screen doesnt work?
is that just an example to get us started?
It seems weird though- that clever things like the low power mode and stuff would be implemented but the lobby not???
or am I doing something wrong?
I am continuing to dig on this- I have a day job- so I end up staying up very late - I have already spent about 18 hours on this specific issue- testing and digging.. I will sneak out again at lunch with two laptops and frantically hack on this at lunch.
I am a little frustrated since I THOUGHT the lobby support was a part of the package-maybe it is and I am doing something wrong? Is it intentionally not complete- or am I just an idiot?
In any case- ANY advice or guidance appreciated.. I am having to tunnel through the code and put hundeds of log statements to try to figure out how to get the lobby to actually allow the user to join a game.. A little guidance might save me many future hours ...
ANY help- even evil taunting- appreciated
