This is a patch release for the basic SimEthereal example. It includes an example application that builds on the basic network examples of previous releases. The example is a really basic "game" where multiple players can login and fly around in space ships in a 3D grid in space and chat with each other.

The code illustrates how to setup SimEthereal for networking syncing and how to do proper client-side interpolation of the object updates.

sim-eth-basic.zip contains the full application. Just unzip it and run the bin/sim-eth-basic.bat or bin/sim-eth-basic depending on your operating system.

Added in this version:

  • Key/joystick UI navigation
  • Debug popup graphs for network monitoring
  • A help screen (press F1)

On the standalone server:

  • A script fro running the standalone server
  • 'stats' command for getting connection stats for logged in players
  • The ability to configure a server-side description with a better default description

See release-notes.md for full release details.
