RakNet wrapper for Blitz



Description

RakNet is a network library full of possibilities.
This web page is about the Raknet wrapper for Blitz. This wrapper was originally developped by Kurix for Blitz3D, adapted to RakNet 3 and BlitzMax by RepeatUntil. This wrapper works for all versions of Blitz (BlitzMax, Blitz3D, BlitzPlus). There is also a cross-platform version (windows, MacOs, Linux) for BlitzMax! (thanks to Jimon)

This wrapper is open source, and could be modified by anyone who would like to improve it. I have no more time to work on it. This is a project who should benefit the whole Blitz community, so please send all improvements to repeatuntil _at_ online.fr (to upload on this web site).

Download

There is a version using a dll, so working only on Windows. There is also a cross-platform version using a BlitzMax module.

The release version contain the minimal set of files to use RakNet. The development version is for someone willing to improve/correct the wrapper. The dll was compiled with dev-c++ v4.9.9.2. There is a help file named HELPRakNetWrapper.txt that describe step by step what you need to do to compile RakNet and its wrapper and create the dll.

Version with dll, Windows only:
Release version (Windows only), using RakNet 3.82: download.
Development version (Windows only), not updated to RakNet 3.82 (but still useful for those who wants to improve the wrapper): download.

Version with BlitzMax module, Windows, MacOS, Linux:
Cross-platform version for BlitzMax (Windows, macOS, Linux), using RakNet 3.82: download.
