Tadpole is a persistent server casual game meant for projection on a big screen in a live environment. Players connect to it via TCP to spawn players. There is a live live leader board and hi-score board.

Welcome to Tadpole_SDL. A game by Dileep V. Reddy. Network controller written in collaboration with Wes Erickson. The project and license details can be found at: https://github.com/dileepvr/Tadpole_SDL https://github.com/inflamedspirit/Tadpole_Controller To join the game using our Javascript controller, simply visit localhost:. A help file with this information can be accessed in localhost:. To write your own custom controller, follow the protocol below: Tadpole server is listening for connections on port . To spawn a controllable tadpole,
- Open a TCP connection to localhost:
- If a spot is not available, server sends 'X' and disconnects.
- If spot is available, server sends 'N'.
- Respond with desired player name.
- Server sends \RGBXXYYZZ, where \XXYYZZ\ are the RGB color values in hex (as a string). The Tadpole should be visible on screen.
- To control Tadpole, send the following characters: '1' = Up-key-pressed '2' = Up-key-released '3' = Right-key-pressed '4' = Right-key-released '5' = Down-key-pressed '6' = Down-key-released '7' = Left-key-pressed '8' = Left-key-released
- To kill Tadpole, send 'K'. Server replies with 'D'.
- Everytime Tadpole hitpoints change, server sends \HXX, where \XX\ encodes current hitpoint count.
- Server sends 'D' and closes connection when Tadpole dies.
- Server sends 'C' and closes connection when shutting down.
The game can be played as a single player game. To spawn locally (keyboard) controlled tadpole, just it enter. The name is set inside main.cpp. Arrow keys control movement, and pressing 'k' key will force kill.
