Detailed Description

High-level ENet-based server host for handling multiple client connections, broadcasting messages, and routing incoming packets.

The Host object owns its ENetHost and manages the lifecycle of all connected clients. It interacts with the Router to forward incoming messages to application-defined handlers.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Host()

Host::Host	(	std::reference_wrapper< Router >	router,
		int	connection_port,
		int	max_clients
	)

Constructs the Host with a Router, target port, and maximum number of clients.

Parameters

router	Shared pointer to message routing system.
connection_port	Port on which to listen for incoming clients.
max_clients	Maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed.

~Host()

Host::~Host ( )

noexcept

Destructs the Host and releases ENet resources safely.

Member Function Documentation

broadcast()

void Host::broadcast ( const Message &  message )

noexcept

Broadcasts a message to all connected peers.

Parameters

message

Message to broadcast.

disconnect()

void Host::disconnect ( )

noexcept

Disconnects all clients and destroys the ENet server.

get_client_amount()

int Host::get_client_amount ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the number of currently connected clients.

get_connection_state()

ConnectionState Host::get_connection_state ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the current server connection state.

get_ip()

std::string Host::get_ip ( ) const

noexcept

get_uuid()

std::string Host::get_uuid ( ) const

noexcept

poll()

void Host::poll ( )

noexcept

Polls ENet for incoming events (connect/disconnect/receive). Forwards packets through the Router.

send_to_peer_via_uuid()

void Host::send_to_peer_via_uuid ( const std::string &  uuid, const Message &  message  )

noexcept

Sends a message to a connected client identified by UUID.

Parameters

uuid	Target client's UUID.
message	Message to send.

set_connection_port()

void Host::set_connection_port ( int  port )

noexcept

Sets the server port. Only effective before start_server().

set_max_clients()

void Host::set_max_clients ( int  amount )

noexcept

Sets the maximum number of clients allowed.

start_server()

void Host::start_server

(

)

Starts the ENet server.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if ENet fails to create a server host.

sync()

void Host::sync ( )

noexcept

Broadcasts delta snapshots of the scene to all connected clients.
