The Pulse API design
The interaction of the game client with the server and other clients happens
primarily via two classes that expose the Pulse features:
•
GameClient
•
GameClientCallback
The
GameClient
is primarily used to send request to the server while creating a
room, joining a room, or sending a message to other players such as chat or
game state updates during game play.
The
GameClientCallback
is an AS3 interface class for which one of the classes
within the
GameClient
must implement. All notifications from the server are
processed by the Pulse layer and corresponding notifications are called on the
implementation of the callback class—for example, when a create room request
was successful or when a chat message was received, etc.
