Gordon Client

There are currently two client APIs for the Gordon Server available:

• HTML5/JS
• Adobe Flash/Air

Install

With npm do:

npm install gordon-client

This will also download the Flex SDK (BIG!) to build the SWC file. If you don't want to rebuild the JS or AS3 version this might be better:

npm install gordon-client --production

The HTML5/JS version is found under lib/js/src or lib/js/dist. The Adobe Flash/Air version is found under lib/as3/src or lib/as3/dist.

See also gordon-server and gordon-examples.

###Usage ####HTML5/JS In your HTML file import the script:

<script src="js/gordon-client-0.1.0.min.js"></script>

The JS client uses the gordon namespace.

  var g = new gordon.Client();
  //Connect to the server
  g.connect('ws://127.0.0.1:9092', function (err) {
    if (err) {
        console.log('Connection error. Code:', err.id);
        return;
    }

    var name = 'Gordon' + Math.round(Math.random() * 1000);
    console.log('Connected.');

    //Join a session and room
    g.join('session1', 'lobby', name, null, function (err, user) {
       if (err) {
            console.log('Join error. Code:', err.id);
            return;
        }
        console.log('Joined. User id:', user.id);
    });
});

Join a session with a custom DataObject

//create the users's dataObject
var dataObject = new gordon.DataObject();
dataObject.setInt16(0, -200);
dataObject.setInt16(1, -200);
g.join('session1', 'lobby', name, dataObject, function (err, user) {
   if (err) {
        console.log('Join error. Code:', err.id);
        return;
    }
    console.log('Joined. User id:', user.id);
});

####Adobe Flash/Air Either add the src folder to your classpath or add the provided swc file to your library.
