Tofu is designed for games where players play one or several characters accross several levels. This includes jump'n run games, RPG or RTS, but not Tetris-like games or board game (chess, go,...).
It currently support client-server and single player mode; peer-to-peer mode may be added later.

Here is coming my new network engine Tofu! It is destined to Soya-based game, and relies on UDP. It uses several original technics like acknowledging packet and sending again non-acknowledged packets AFTER updating them, or the existence of "inhibited states" inspired like in biological models. It also uses a method vaguely inspired by aspect-oriented-programming, which allows Tofu to be written in less than 1000 lines of code, including the demo :-)
This version of Tofu has been successfully tested with up to 6 or 7 clients. But we were lacking people to try a higher number of clients !
This is why I propose a big testing party on Saturday the 5, at 20 o clock (French hour). Anyone is welcome !
To launch the client, there are 2 possibilities :

To launch the client, there are 2 possibilities :
- download the binary package (Linux x686, warning 20 MB !) http://nekeme.net/~jiba/static_tofu_demo.tar.bz2
Uncompress it, cd inside it and then:
./run_demo --clientnekeme.net
whereis the name of your choice (a new character is automatically created if the login doesn't exist).
- or install Soya SVN, as well as tofu_udp (present at the root of Soya's SVN), and launch:
python ./tofu_udp/test/demo.py --clientnekeme.net
whereis the name of your choice (a new character is automatically created if the login doesn't exist).
