TAS Protocol java implementation

Post by nrv »

Hi,

I plan to implement the lobby protocol in Java in order to produce new clients. The goal is to have it working on different Java platforms (J2SE, JME and Android). The first application should be a small monitoring client running on a phone to warn you when your friends are online and ready to play.

Any help and comments are welcome.

Do note that J2ME is missing a lot of the necessary string parsing APIs for implementing a protocol like this, so be prepared to manually write that sort of thing, and either spend a lot of time optimizing or watch your client take 5 minutes to log in.
It might be more advisable to write a client that interfaces with a bot running on a server which provides the desired tas protocol-level functionality.

You will find cookiebot bandit and slur bot source code in my portfolio on my site www.darkstars.co.uk

Bebawarebthat they are old and as such I can't say they're of amazing quality in terms of code, but they should serve to demonstrate how to write a bot in java and handle the chatmprotocols

I have a first version of the protocol running. I tested it with J2ME/J2SE/Android applications. I think I'll publish the Android app quite soon.
