Detailed Description

The communication center open several ports to accept incomming conections, and when a new conection arrives, it redirects it to the client creator (newClient, newGraphicClient...), which creates a thread with the client, and go back to the check-for-new-conections loop.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CommCenter::CommCenter (    )

Creates the communication center. It opens several ports to accept incomming conections; these ports include: * client port (2002) * graphic client port (3003) * control client port (3004) * server port (8888) Definition at line 46 of file commcenter.cc. References clientPort, controlClientPort, graphicClientPort, log, serverPort, and world.

CommCenter::~CommCenter (    )

Destroys the comm center; the open ports are closed. Definition at line 70 of file commcenter.cc. References clientPort, clients, controlClientPort, graphicClientPort, log, and serverPort.
