processing Networking??
Mar 28th, 2007, 2:09pm  
Hi guys,

I have been wondering ... is it possible to send udp packets from one system to another?  For example - I have a color tracking sketch that I would like to send all current X and Y values for objects tracked on to another system, which will use that data in a certain way.  What sort of networking capabilities does Processing offer?

Thanks in advance

Processing's network library only uses TCP I think. To do UDP you'll probably have to fall back to Java's networking stuff.

See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/DatagramPacket.html
and
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/DatagramSocket.html

You may well be able to use TCP for your needs, if so then the Processing netowkring librar reference is available here: http://processing.org/reference/libraries/net/index.html
