PodSixNet game networking library now without simplejson

[Chris McCormick]

Hey all,

I've just released a new version of PodSixNet which doesn't require simplejson
any more, although you can still use it if you want. This version includes the
BSD licensed rencode.py to do its serialising, which was born out of the
bittorrent project.

Would love it if some pygame people got a chance to check it out and gave me
feedback, and hopefully use it in a game!

I think it makes it really quite trivial to write simple multiplayer games, or
add multiplayer to existing games, and it comes with a chat and a whiteboard
example to demonstrate this. I should probably stop spamming the pygame list,
so please join the mailing list if you're interested. :)

Best,

Chris.

I'm using python 2.6 on windows. I'm having the bellow problem when I
attempt to run the whiteboardclient. The whiteboardserver is running.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the heads up. I think I know how to fix that, but I'll need to
install Python 2.6 to test. Will post to the list and CC you when it's fixed.
Thanks for the bug report!

Best,

Chris.

Hello!

This turned out to be a very small and easy fix. I've now updated the website
with a new version (43).

Thanks, I'm working on other stuff at the moment, but I will check it
out as soon as I can. Thanks for looking into my issue :-)
