Member Function Documentation

void bubolo.net.NetworkSystem.connect ( InetAddress serverIpAddress ) throws IllegalStateException, NetworkException

Attempts to connect to the specified IP address. startServer must be called before calling connect.

Parameters

serverIpAddress the IP address of a server. Note that this isn't necessarily the game server, since clients also connect directly to each other.

Exceptions

NetworkException	if a network error occurs.
IllegalStateException	if `connect` is called before `startServer` was called.

boolean bubolo.net.NetworkSystem.isGameServer ( )

Returns true if this player is the game server, or false otherwise. Note that all players run clients and servers, because everyone connects to each other to reduce latency. The official server is only used for certain non-game functionality, such as acting as the central connection point and sending out ip addresses of all players.
