data bundles between server and clients

[shorv]

Hi, I've got a problem while i was trying to make something like lobby for my ludo game. I am sending List to each client from server every 2 seconds in FXGL task. Method that i created looks like this:

public void lobbyTask() {
    FXGL.run(() -> {
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle("LobbyInfo");
        bundle.put("players", LudoServerApp.ludoGame.getPlayers());
        serverBundle.broadcast(bundle);
    }, Duration.seconds(2));
}

and the method on client side looks like this:

private void handleLobby(Bundle message) {
    if (!message.getName().equals("LobbyInfo")) {
        return;
    }

    ArrayList<LudoPlayer> players = message.get("players");
    System.out.println(message.getData());
    LudoPlayerApp.ludoGame.setPlayers(players);
}

and now, output for client 1 is:

{
  players = [
    LudoPlayer {uuid = 1f6d31ca-647c-43ed-9911-e651160b8902, color = BLUE, nickname = 'client1'} 
  ]
}

and for client 2 is:

{
  players = [
     LudoPlayer {uuid = 1f6d31ca-647c-43ed-9911-e651160b8902, color = BLUE, nickname = 'client1'},
     LudoPlayer { uuid = 778af3f2-2f44-4f8c-b5fa-7f7dc0913a6b, color = RED, nickname = 'client2'}
  ]
}

Player class and fields looks like this:

public class LudoPlayer implements Serializable {
    private final UUID uuid;
    private PlayerColor color;
    private String nickname;

so basically it looks like the client 1 is receiving old data exactly data only when he joined.

switching from TCP to UDP helped.
