I would like very much to have the ability for a DX 'environment' (object, theme, whatever) to be able to be set up as a simple 'message server/client'.
Does anyone know of an activex control, or .dll that can be registered with a dx object with vbscript or Jscript to do something like this?
Simple scenario I'd like to achieve: An object that triggers an 'event' when it received a 'message' from an open port/whatever - message only needs to be a string, and another object which can 'send' a message to an i.p. which has the server object open on it.
I want to make a person to person game over the net with DX objects. It its practically 'turn' based, so there doesn't need to be mass real time communication. Just, send message, receive message, trigger event, finish trigger event, check/wait for next message.
Any ideas?
