JEagle: módulo de comunicação flexível para o motor de jogos jMonkeyEngine

Abstract

The development of multiplayer games is usually one of the areas where game developers often encounter difficulties, since developing a singleplayer game has a different set of requirements than a multiplayer game. The multiplayer communication modules involve carefully design, to cope with connectivity issues and with the inherent network latency. I tis necessary to plan what protocols will be used, what actions should be performed, how to interpret each action received, among others. The main objective of this work is the development of a flexible Java communication module for the jMonkeyEngine game engine using the client/server architecture and also P2P architecture, so in this way, the communication between the members of the game will be established, and the developer, woudln’t need to worry about the development of the communication module.
