Mastermind Networking Lib - 4.1.3

A networking lib designed to be simple to use.


Ian Mallett
(geometrian)
Mastermind is a networking lib designed to be easy to use and robust. The name comes from the goal of this project, which was to make a program which is covertly behind all networking, making things run nice and smoothly with little user input.

I made this library partially for fun, partially for pyweek, partially for utility, and partly so I would know more about networking. Networking is a lot harder than you would think, so I have spent a past week or so developing this library, which should make the tricky stuff automatically done behind the scenes.

Includes fully customizable output for server and client events.

See Docs.txt for help on making networked programs.

Changes

A minor update to the examples that allows them to work, by default, over a LAN.

    Lol, the chat windows look very similar to mine. I will probably check this out though, I started up my own little networking projects and am interested to see how you are handling certain things. :)

    Do you mind if I use this for my games networking and I will try help u I will use two versions of it 1. I want to use it to send positions and display it on another computer quite hard but I can do it 2. Reason chat for my game

    Please go ahead and use the library (that's what it's here for)! Mastermind is capable of sending arbitrary data across a network--anything stored in RAM. This means, for example, that entire Python data structures (classes, lists, dictionaries, etc.) can be sent. You should look at the included examples for guidance.

    How do I make the program communicate between two computers?

    See the included examples.

    Whenever I call server.accepting_allow() it freezes the program. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you a lot for this library. I love you. :D
