DarkNet is very easy to use and is useful to programmers of all ability. Basic easy to use commands exist for beginners, whilst more advanced users can make use of additional commands intended to maximize performance (e.g. mnSetFunction).

Code

Here is some sample code that demonstrates how easy it is to setup and manage a simple server using DarkNet.

DarkBASIC Pro
` Load the DarkNet networking module mn Start 1,0 ` Start server mn Start Server 0,50,0,3 ` Display information about server print "Local TCP IP: " + mn Get Local IP TCP(0) print "Local UDP IP: " + mn Get Local IP UDP(0) print "Local TCP Port: " + str$(mn Get Local Port TCP(0)) print "Local UDP Port: " + str$(mn Get Local Port UDP(0)) print ` Create packet to store received data RecvPacket = mn Create Packet() do ` Check for new clients iJoined = mn Client Joined(0) if iJoined > 0 print "A new client joined the server" endif ` Check for leaving clients iLeft = mn Client Left(0) if iLeft > 0 print "A client left the server" endif for cl = 1 to mn Get Max Clients(0) ` Check for new UDP data iUDP = mn Recv UDP(0,RecvPacket,cl,0) if iUDP > 0 print "UDP data received" endif ` Check for new TCP data iTCP = mn Recv TCP(0,RecvPacket,cl) if iTCP > 0 print "TCP data received" endif next cl loop
