I sent you a message through your yahoomail. I just followed up with another one using this email. I copied the yahoomail account in this email as well. Thanks

I added you on telegram but I cannot send messages to you until you add me. my contact is @ifeanyinmoye

What is the app about. I am only an android mobile programmer. I cannot do IOS

boonducks:
Thanks for your interest. Kindly send me an email from my profile. As soon as I receive your email and we can proceed from here. It would be great if you could also indicate your telegram username so that I can add you to our discussion group. From there you can take a look at our open sourced github page to see what we have been doing.

Kind regards

I tried to send an email but it did not work through your profile.

I should c clarify the following;

1. This is a 100% legitimate job. We currently have 1 dev (Chinese) who is swarmed with too much work and we not able to meet our mainnet launch deadline slated for Q1 2021

2. You will be remunerated as appropriately

3. This is not an outsourced job

4. This is not from fiverr

5. This is not scam.

I am a C++ developer with over 10 years experience. I am interested.

I don't think UDP has a "reliable sending path". You basically send a message and hope it gets to your destination.

Your description of TCP isn't true, each packet is given a sequence number and sent. The endpoint is responsible for verifying them with their checksum and sequence number and putting them in order. When a handshake is needed is in connection initiation.

There is also a risk of timeouts, since the kernel isn't aware of the program proxying the packets, it will also attempt to resend packets it previously sent (the same packets this program has cached and is trying to send reliably). This might cause multiple responses for the same command and slow down connection.

By UDP reliable sending path, i do not mean that UDP on its own has a reliable sending path
but rather that the library on github has APIs for sending both reliably and unreliably on UDP.

Also, based on TCP, the main point is an older packet blocks the newer one in the work flow causing a delay.

Building reliability over the UDP will make it slower than just UDP but always faster than TCP provided order is not enforced.
The packets has sequence numbers that prevents it from being received more than once.
So, if it has being received before, it checks for another message instead.

lordZOUGA:
Okay. That's like turning UDP into TCP. yes?

Doesn't that slow down the UDP connection and makes it a bit unpredictable? considering that UDP's usefulness lies in its unreliability.

I mean if I am playing FIFA and the ball is in an opponent's goal post and the packet with the ball's position gets dropped due to bad connection or something. On a normal UDP connection, this wouldn't matter as the gamer would just see a drop in frame rate or a lag in game play but using this library, the packet with the ball's position will probably return slower than usual, or make the game run at different speeds for the gamers or crash the game? is that possible?

My previous question was how do you get all the outgoing/incoming Udp packets with your library?

It is not the same as turning UDP into TCP. Using TCP, if one sends a packet A and then another packet B in turn. B has to wait for A to be sent and acknowledged before B gets sent across the network but using Reliable UDP, A and B gets sent immediately without any one waiting for the other. Also, there is an API for sending the packets unreliably.

Using your FIFA example, most messages would be sent unreliably but there are some messages that have to be sent reliably and those ones get to use the reliable sending path for example, goal scored message.

You use sendPacket API to send data unreliably, sendReliablePacket to send data reliably and receivePacket to receive data. Each of these methods are in the UdpServer and UdpClient classes.

lordZOUGA:
Hi, that's interesting.
How did you implement the reliability feature? I went through the code a bit, considering the way the server is started, shouldn't you be getting text data from the Application layer and not binary packets? The code seems to be working with packets.

Neat code by the way.

For reliability, when packets are sent they are given a unique sequence number and stored in an stl map data structure using the sequence number as the key. If the packets arrive at the destination, an ack is reqistered for the packet using the sequence number in order to prevent multiple reception of the same message or to ensure that the message is only received once and an ack message is sent back to the sender which then deletes the reliable packet from the map and stops sending packets. If an ack is not received by the sender, it sends the same packet on each update from the ones stored until the reliable packet times out.
You should be able to send both text and binary data or maybe I dont fully understand your second question though.

This is a free open source C++ UDP networking library with reliability built over udp specifically for fast paced games. I just thought I should share it with anyone interested. Use at your own risk.

handie: I'm a final year student and honestly, my GP ain't as good as I wish. I'm contemplating dropping some courses and rewriting them next session to boost my GP. please can I resit those exams and still go for NYSC that same year? I talked to my course adviser about it and he said i'll be able to go with the next available batch once my result is out. pls is this possible? what is your advice to me? N.B: I'm 20 years old

You are still young. Stay an extra session and make a 2.1. The truth is the 2.1 in life does not really make any difference but it opens certain doors for you in the future that would constitute an annoying disruption like say a masters degree/job application minmium requirement of 2.1 or student visa application academic ability survey etc. My advise is stay an extra year and boost your gp. It is your life. you are not doing first to finish with anybody. Improve your life situations according to your terms now that you still have the financial support of your parents I suppose. In the future, you are on your own with your personal load. This is the time to lay the foundation. Stay an extra session and give it your best. forget nysc for now. let your extra session determine your nysc date and not the other way round.

@Danosaur007
Great!
Lets's continue this project for all those still interested.
I will post a summary of where we are soon.

Thanks.

We all know what Obama must have thought of Osama, but we don't see obama calling him names in public? Putin get America/obama for mind, but he doesn't call them/him names in public.
Besides the man is deceased, he deserves a little bit of respect.

Your Father. no be only deceased

@kazuna
The project is still on.
Concerning the portfolio, I want to get original 3d levels for a fee.

boxer022: Jude did not attend Peter's wedding because he was not in support of it. Their late mum was also against it and must have known that it will bring about this problem and told him (Peter) not to marry her but he blatantly refused and went ahead to do it which led to their earlier fight.

I cannot remember vividly though but Have you read the Novel. "The gods are not to blame". where it was predicted that the king's baby son will kill him and marry his wife when he grows up. This prophesy led to the king being paranoid and ordered the killing of his own baby son and the person assigned to kill the son happen to let the baby live and the baby not knowing its origin became powerful in another land and accidentally killed his father not knowing it was his father and married his mother unknowingly. To cut the long story short, the king's action due to the paranoia created by the prophesy was what led to the prophesy being fulfilled.

I think the whole problem started when they went against Peter's choice of a wife. This is the mum of his kids. He is an adult, not a child. They can only advise him, not force him. Lola is the type of woman he wants, not his elder brother's or his mum's type of woman. This feels like complete hypocrisy to me. I could argue that he is not in support of his elder brother's choice of a wife and that is why he did not go too. One man's meat is another man's poison.

If you know anyone who is very good at modelling like kazuna but require a fee, please, refer them
to post their resume or works or portfolio to jivibounty@yahoo.com. Thanks.

well, maybe I should hire people for the project instead.

[quote author=CODE-EATER]Wait o..some one should clearify me here...i thought it was upto d target platform and 3d modeling tools like blender n maya to decide or craft the 3d models n by xtension,their level of realism...i also thought a game engine was just kinda like a framewrk(e.g in my domain an xmple would be codigniter or Symphony) for making fast n easier d process of creating a game.

What does it have to do with d graphics or realism of d 3d models?[/quote]The target platform may or may not have certain capabilities. It is up to a good game engine to detect that and enable or disable capabilities at will. Also, the 3d modelling tools create the environment and assets used by the game engine to run the game. If certain assets are not included into the assets to be used by the game engine.The game engine cannot make use of whatever technique that assets was to be used for. For example, if I create 3d models without normal maps in a 3d modelling tool. Even if a 3d engine supports normal mapping. It cannot use it for that assets because there is no normal map present except of course it generates a flat normal map which is the same thing as using no normal map.
Conversely, if I create a normal map for an asset and use a game engine that does not support normal mapping, then, normal mapping through that game engine would not work.
Going back to platforms, if an asset is created for a technique and a game engine supports that technique but the platform e.g graphics card does not support it, such a technique cannot be used.

[quote author=hunter2,1]is your gameengine in the class of frostbite2, cryengine3 and unrealengine4.[/quote]My game engine is capable of next gen graphics like unrealengine4, frostbite2, cryengine3
but graphics apart, it is not in the same class in anyway.

Is anyone still on this project?
Well, let me not bit about the bush. Since most people prefer unity. Let us go with unity. I have the complete game story plan for the first level. I will acquire all character animation and weapons animations- military shooting, jumping, running etc.

lets use a proxy(substitute) for the character in the games for now. so, we can use humans models/animations in place of goats while the goat models are being designed. So, that would not be a stall.

First Mission

CutScene:

It was Christmas eve. Goatie is tired of the deaths. Goaties thought’s shows different goats and animals being slaughtered all through his life time. The day has finally come, the day Goatie feared the most, the day he was to become the Christmas Goat. But Goatie would have none of this. It is time the humans realized that Goats have a life and a dream too and those dreams did not include ending up in a hot pot of pepper soup.

Consequently, Goatie escaped on the day he was to be slaughtered and later returned to free the Goats. Soon, the angry and hungry humans came hunting after them. Knowing that their existence was under threat, the Goats knew they had to fight back and to do this. They needed weapons. Then, Goatie and his some of his men set out to the mission no man/animal alive in their worst dreams would ever dream of and that is invading a barrack with the most merciless soldiers there is that have a unique appetite for isi-ewu.

Mission One Begins

Main Mission: ACQUIRE MILITARY WEAPONS FROM THE BARRACK

Get to the Barrack

The barrack is heavily guarded by soldiers all over. Goatie and his men had to go through a shallow stream which passes beside the barrack walls with a canoe to get anywhere close. They got close and there they met soldiers and the battle began. They fought soldiers upon soldiers acquiring their weapons on the way in. Finally, they got into the barrack and they divided amongst themselves the other goats had to go and get the weapons while goatie and gwon-gwon distracted the soldiers.

Distract the Soldiers

They fought endlessly while the other goats acquired most of the weapons. Then, they arrived at the weapon storage and realized that some of the goats were sieged in the weapon storage. They had to defeat the army in the weapon storage to get the sieged goats out.

Get the Sieged animals out

Finally, as the goats escaped, they let their quard down for a minute and the Col. Okoro shot Gwon Gwon dead and he also tried killing Goatie and the rest but they luckily escaped to safety and the Colonel asked lesser ranked soldier to take the Goat to the Chef to prepare Isi-Ewu. Goatie overhead and would have none of it. Gwon-gwon was a patriotic Goat who fought for the right of the animals and should not end up as food in human’s belly. Goatie dispatched the other animals and went alone to retrieve Gwon-Gwon for burial.


Main Mission: RETRIEVE GWON GWON’S BODY AND LEAVE THE BARRACK

Fight your way to the Cafeteria

Goatie fought through the cafeteria which was close by the Weapons storage and eventually retrieved Gwon gwon and set out to escape the barrack using a jet.


Escape From the Pursuing Soldiers

Col. Okoro and his men mount their respective jets and went after Goatie and they had some serious air battle which started by goatie having to dodge some difficult mountaineous terrain while escaping and they went higher in altitude above the mountains and that was when the real battle began.

Battle the Soldiers On Air

Goatie destroyed all of them and Col. Okoro ejected himself out when goatie fired destroyed his jet. Goatie returned to the troops as planned earlier.

Mission One Ends

BlueMagnificent: Have u guys heard of neoAxis game engine... It now has a superb free edition that has pretty much all the tools u need for ur game project. Personally I've not tried it cause I recently realized that they have released a free edition ( I knew it to be paid for). Maybe u guys should giv it a try

Thanks. NeoAxis looks great.

@kazuna
You can test on blender. This project will not die. I have been very busy lately in a way that is out of my control right now.

I will make some research over the weekend on the game engines we should use and why and I will post it here.

dueal: @all....i hvnt abandoned ship....sorry for d hold on d engine...decided not to upload till d demo is ready. d group can pick Unity while waiting besides...d plan for d story, concept art and oda pre stuff isnt near solid yet.

heres wats brewing frm my end....just for show...concept art royalties going to bee-jay-artnerd

whats happening now? whats the time warp for? Is this an idea for goat's revolt?

@Kennikazi
The Game revolves around goats but also includes other animals.
Dont worry about the story. I will help you with it.
Also, the answer to your questions are in previous forum posts.

@kennikazi
Please, let us know if you still have writer's block so that we can make appropriate decision.

dueal: was actually tempted to upload and help wit problems devs might face but dat will b a distraction....

Great. Please, upload. It will help with a faster decision since there are a bunch of alternative game engines to use. We would have taken a decision by now but we are waiting to evaluate your engine before we continue exploring alternatives. So, if you dont mind, upload the demo and lets see the game engine capabilities and get programmers to focus on the language we are going to use. The evaluation is not going to take more than a day or two. If it works fine. Then, we go with it.
