Re: [pygame] networking example

["Thiago Chaves" <shundread@xxxxxxxxx>]

Whenever I think of networking I get depressed. The only thing I have
ever done so far with networking was junk like "Hello world, through a
socket!".

This is how I wish I could do networking with pyagme

#Setting up a connection
link = pygame.net.connection(address) #address is either a string with
an IP address or an URL.

#Checking for data
net_events = pygame.event.get(NET_DATA)
print net_events[0].source, "sent: ", net_events[0].data

#Checking for errors
net_events = pygame.event.get(NET_ERROR)
foreach event in net_events:
   print event.source, event.error_type #error_type can have values
like "connection refused", "connection lost", "ping timeout"...

#Sending data
link.send_data("B7 B6") #Moving a piece from B7 to B6

#Closing a connection
link.close()

But I guess we don't have anything that simple, do we?
