Tutorial 15: Network

Overview

This command-line tutorial creates a small TCP chat. One process starts the threaded server and joins it as a local administrative client; other processes connect as named remote clients.

A small input thread keeps console reading separate from the main receive loop. The main thread drains queued network messages, handles control events and releases every returned payload through NetTCP::freeData().

Note

This console tutorial is a narrow threading example. The input thread uses only the documented thread-safe NetTCP operations and logging; it does not access graphics, Scene state or general GDK objects. See Threading conventions for the default main-thread rule.
