EnkiNet

My networking dissertation (2018/2019) for implementing a HLAPI integrated in to a 2D scenegraph framework.

Tested and builds on Windows using MSVC 15.2, or on Linux using either GCC 8.2 or Clang 8. (older versions might also work)

Instructions

Make sure SFML is installed

If on windows, modify SFML_DIR in /CMakeLists.txt to point to the SFML install (not source code) (2.5.1, 32-bit) If on linux, make sure to install libsfml-dev

Generate solution with CMake

If on linux, choose between GCC or Clang

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
export CXX=/usr/bin/gxx

or

export CC=/usr/bin/clang-8
export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++-8

make an empty folder, in this case I've called it build, then:

cd build
cmake ..

if generating a visual studio solution, remember to set up the start-up project.

If CMake complains about not being able to find SFML when it's already installed, either run cmake .. again or make sure you've modified the SFML_DIR path and it's pointing to the correct SFML version (2.5.1, 32-bit)

Build with CMake

cd build
cmake --build .

Demos and Tests

cd build

then

cmake -D DEMOS=ON ..

or

cmake -D TESTS=ON ..

or

cmake -D DEMOS=ON -D TESTS=ON ..

Logging

EnkiNet uses SPDLOG for logging. In order to disable or limit which levels of logging are outputted, as well as change the output location, you need to create a logger with the name "EnkiNet" and modify it accordingly.

In the sample below the logger is modified after being constructed by EnkiNet. EnkiNet will construct a logger if one doesn't already exist when the Scenegraph, RPCManager, or NetworkManager are constructed.

auto enki_logger = spdlog::get("EnkiNet");
enki_logger->set_level(spdlog::level::err);
