This is a small experimental piece of software, using openGL for graphical output and animations. So far, the program (in server mode) spawns a new thread that executes a basic, non-blocking UDP server. This listens out for incoming client requests.

This software is built upon a couple of supporting libraries that are required in your build system before the software can be compiled. These libraries are listed below.

• libsdl
• libsdl_mixer
• libboost (Until the C++0x spec is finalised)

On Ubuntu, the requirements can be installed with a simple command from the Terminal.

sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-thread-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev

The apt package manager will take care of lower dependencies automatically.

Unix/Linux:

./test --server

Windows:

test --server

The client requires a running server in order to communicate.

Unix/Linux:

/test --client TARGET_IPV4_ADDRESS

Windows:

test --client TARGET_IPV4_ADDRESS

An example of the TARGET_IPV4_ADDRESS would be '127.0.0.1' or the address of a remote computer, if the server is not running on the same machine.
