Class GameSupport

java.lang.Object
  dd.ui.GameSupport

Direct Known Subclasses:

Main

public class GameSupport

extends java.lang.Object

Support for Game code. This class provides generic resources for managing a game, such as retrieving icons. Subclasses should implement the game logic, which this class does not provide.

If a game is already running and the automatic network broadcast mechanism can locate the game, running this as the main class will connect to that existing game. If no game is found, a server will be started on this machine, and the game will connect to this (local) server. Subsequent clients will connect to the server.
