Packet

Utility class to build blocks of data to transfer over the network.

Packets provide a safe and easy way to serialize data, in order to send it over the network using sockets (sf::TcpSocket, sf::UdpSocket).

class Packet {

const(void)[] getData();

void append(const(void)[] data);

void clear();

bool endOfPacket();

bool read(T value);

bool read(T value);

void write(T value);

void write(T value);

const(void)[] onSend();

void onRecieve(const(void)[] data);

}

Functions

append void append(const(void)[] data): Append data to the end of the packet.
clear void clear(): Clear the packet.
endOfPacket bool endOfPacket(): Tell if the reading position has reached the end of the packet.
getData const(void)[] getData(): Get a slice of the data contained in the packet.
onRecieve void onRecieve(const(void)[] data): Called after the packet is received over the network.
onSend const(void)[] onSend(): Called before the packet is sent over the network.
read bool read(T value): Reads a primitive data type or string from the packet. The value in the packet at the current read position is set to value.
write void write(T value): Writes a scalar data type or string to the packet.
