This project is an in house game engine developed for use in lab assignments and student projects at Full Sail University. The engine implementation is partly done in libraries that students have to replace as they go through various courses such as Engine Development, Networking and AI.

The Spaghetti Relay lab is intended to introduce basic networking concepts involved in binding, listening, and accepting server connections and connecting via clients, as well as sending and receiving simple messages via TCP/IP.The front-end deals with two dynamic linked libraries (DLLs), Client.dll and Server.dll, through the ClientWrapper and ServerWrapper interfaces. These wrappers instantiate and call the Client and Server classes.
This project implements the client module and sends/receives specific message data with the server. This also handles closing down the established communications at networking termination. The server module implements multiplexing logic designed around the management of multiple client I/O. Reinforcement of the sending and receiving as responds to the messages sent by your client and send back the messages received by the client.
Client/server “pong” application using UDP datagram sockets. The server accepts connection requests from up to two clients. When a client connects to the server, it requests to either be the server-side client (on the listen server) or the standalone client. This dictates whether the client is Player 1 (left) or Player 2 (right). Clients send input messages to the server, and the server sends a snapshot every game tick.
As part of this assignment students must determine how to use UDP and conserve bandwidth. The exact method of doing so in code is left up to the student.
