Definition

Network.DLL is a DLL for internet/network communication between two Fenix programs or a Fenix program and a different program. It handles quite a few things on its own, so the user can focus on different things in his program.

Features

  • One command setup, another one for listening for connections (server) or one for opening a connection (client).
  • Connection status monitor, informs Fenix of the status of the connections.
  • Sending and receiving of variables of all datatypes, graphics, files, whatever you want.
  • Download/upload meter, for measuring of speeds and totals.
  • Automatic message separation (separation string specifiable).
  • Dynamic messagebuffer provides limitless sending and receiving.

How to use

To be able to use it, you must include the Network.DLL functionality: 

include "Network.fh";

First you initialize Network.DLL: 

NET_Init(0,10,1);

From this point you can do whatever you like, for example connect to google on port 3435: 

NetID=NET_Open("www.google.com",3435);

And send a message: 

NET_Message(NetID,"Hello!");

Or listen for connections on port 4555: 

NET_Listen(4555);

Future

It probably will have UDP support as well, though at the moment only TCP is used.

Download
