Hello,
we try to integrate pd into a mobile game and plan to send data via
int libpd_bang(const char *destination) int libpd_float(const char *destination, float value) int libpd_symbol(const char *destination, const char *symbol)
Running libpd on the mobile and feeding data into it via these methods works great. For debugging purpose we want to be able to run a debug version of the game and a pd instance on a pc to see whats going on inside pd.
Is it possible to trigger these methods using pd-vanilla via network? Like a "more global" netreceive.
If not I thought about extending pd-vanilla and add a simple socket server too feed data into pd similar to the embedded version (libpd_bang...)
Greetings
Sebastian
YOu can use netreceive and then make a patch to distribute the messages.
Easiest way, although inefficient, is each time a mesage arrives, empty out a message box, put in a semicolon ("addsemi" message) and then add the incoming message (using [list prepend add] adn [list trim].
More sporting way is to use a [send] with no arguments, and then with list and trigger magic get the first symbol to the right inlet and the rest to the left.

It took my a while to figure this out but now it works. Thanks for the hint.
Now I use a netreceive with an empty message box. To send a bang to "test123" I transmit the following via tcp from the game.
set; // clears the box addsemi; // just adds a ; add test123 bang; // adds my message: test123 bang; bang; // trigger rerouting and transmits bang to test123
Just in case somebody encounters the same problem.

Currently the above solution works good enough for us. So I did not try this one.

Are you sending a lot of messages into Pd?
I find it's simpler to just make a dummy abstraction in the patch that mimics the functionality and messaging system of the app and make sure it's not available when building on the phone.
Obviously depends on your setup, but in this way I can work in parallel with the app side development.
Cheers, Joe

so what happens if the remote side sends some random message like "pd quit"?
