Hi all,
I would like to talk with you about a thought about time handling in Wormux. I
think we need to synchronize time each time we receive a new action. It's quite
easy doing it as we receive the timestamp each time we execute an action.
Something like :
void ActionHandler::ExecActions()
{
assert(mutex!=NULL);
while (queue.size() != 0)
{
SDL_LockMutex(mutex);
Action *action = queue.front();
// If action is in the future, wait for next refresh
if(action->GetTimestamp() > Time::GetInstance()->Read()) {
SDL_UnlockMutex(mutex);
+ return; // Maybe continue instead ?
}
// Synchronize game with time receive in action to avoid desync.
+ Time::GetInstance()->SetTimestamp(action->GetTimestamp());
queue.pop_front();
SDL_UnlockMutex(mutex);
Exec (action);
delete action;
}
}
It's shall introduce some drawback (in particle handling for example) but I
think it's the only solution if we want to be sure that every player on the
internet execute the action with the same context at the same time. As a simple
solution, I think we may need to introduce another call in Time class for time
in particle not sync with other players.
I would like some feedback about this idea and if it sounds crazy or not.
Regards,
Drayan
