The 2nd Monitor

Dan Pantry

15:00

It is essentially treating yield in a unique way - I tried converting the code to Es6 to see if it would work, but the code printed 'undefined' (as expected)

RubberDuck

@DanPantry seriously worse than not knowing why your code doesn't work.

Dan Pantry

That leads me to think that SpiderMonkey versions 18 through 24 had people experimenting on yield, which makes sense, because yield was not defined in the ES5 spec and was therefore undefined behaviour

In the same way that dereferencing a null pointer might work fine, or might just burn your house down

RubberDuck

I'm curious, that maybe I should have it return a State that I use to make what changes need to the server? — EBrown 1 min ago

Maybe @EBrown.

EBrown

@RubberDuck That was about the only extensible solution I could come up with, I'm not phenomenally great at doing programme design.

Dan Pantry

@EBrown I would personally recommend treating 'messages' as just bags of data and having an interface consume those messages to do something with them.

interface IMessageHandler<T> { void DoSomethingWithMessage(T t); }

I think having the message contain its own structure and know how to handle itself seems a bit.. messy

EBrown

15:03

I suppose I could go that route.

Dan Pantry

It already knows how to serialize and deserialize itself from a stream

Vogel612

especially since you need to handle the message to know how it needs to be handled...

EBrown

Indeed.

Vogel612

and it's quite the overhead..

Dan Pantry

Having the message know how to deserialize/serialize itself is fine

that should be there because it's shared behaviour for that specific type of message.

However, how the message is handled is implementation specific

EBrown

15:04

Well, all this code is shared between the Client/Server.

RubberDuck

@Vogel612 that's a good point. Maybe it just gets directly handled in the DataMessageHandler instead of returning an adapted type at all.

Dan Pantry

@EBrown that just furthers my point.

Let the message know how to serialize, and deserliaze, itself, that's fine

But place the processing logic somewhere else

Also, a huge switch statement to switch on an enum based on packet types is only going to cause you pain

as our lovable bath friend @RubberDuck said, that's what polymorphism is for

RubberDuck

> lovable bath friend

Man that sounds dirty @DanPantry.

EBrown

So in this case, where would I move each relative bit to?

Dan Pantry

@RubberDuck I get it. Baths. dirty

EBrown

15:07

(It's still quite early, haven't completely woken up.)

Dan Pantry

@EBrown no idea, i'm trying to wrap my head around that. I'm not entirely sure how you would translate abstract data packet -> processing logic

You could potentially use an event for that, and then have packet handlers only listen for a certain event

That way you don't have a monolithic switch statement, and each message handler is only informed about the message they want

Vogel612

usually you have some "message type"

and then process depending on the type.

RubberDuck

The problem is in the interface me thinks. You need to pass each Process method the same args, but each implementation will need something different.

Vogel612

then you got a problem...

EBrown

@RubberDuck Basically. Some of them won't do anything with some of the objects.

RubberDuck

15:09

So, maybe passing through somekind of state object would be a good solution.

Vogel612

and you need a container

Dan Pantry

@RubberDuck this. This is why I suggested that having the packet know how to handle itself is bad.

I don't know.

You could potentially do something like

er... give me a few minutes

RubberDuck

message.Process(state);

Then it doesn't really matter if it needs it or not, it gets it.

EBrown

If I made a state that only contained updates, then I could merge it with the actual object states at the end.

The problem is, that the Client won't have/need the same state.

Vogel612

wat..

EBrown

15:12

The stuff in the State, between server and client can differ, on purpose.

Vogel612

meh... the message isn't supposed to care

Dan Pantry

// Implementations define what they need in their constructor
interface IMessageHandler<T> where T: IMessage {
  Task Process<T>(T message);
}

// The POCO
interface IMessage {
  string Name { get; }
}

// When server receives a message, it publishes an even
// Then somewhere you need to have the message handler do something like
//
server.On("Foo", new MyMessageHandler<FooMessage>());

class MyMessageHandler<FooMessage> : IMessage<FooMessage> {
  MyMessageHandler(PlayerService playerService) {

Vogel612

the server is the single authority, the client gets updated by the server and that's it

Mast

@RubberDuck How's your introduction into microprocessors going so far?

Dan Pantry

Didn't know how to

There

RubberDuck

@Mast I decided to take Amtel Studio's simulator for a spin. Just got it up and running.

Mast

Atmel is a big company, first uC I got started with was an Atmel.

So if you get the hang of it with their simulator, you're well on your way.

EBrown

So, as it stands now, my IDataMessage interface would need an additional Process(ServerConfiguration config, ServerState state) method. Which each of those parameters would have some effect on how it processed the messages.

Duga

15:21

This has now been posted to codereview.SE and should be deleted from SO. — Paul R just now

EBrown

The IDataMessage HandleMessage(NetIncomingMessage message) would still need that large switch statement, so that it could build the proper messages. But the ProcessDataMessage(NetIncomingMessage message) would not need one. It would just call messageResult.Process(config, state).

Dan Pantry

@EBrown IDataMessage should not know how to process itself.

Publish an event that can be listened to that is raised every time a message has been decoded from the input stream.

Have handlers listen to this and determine themselves what they want to listen to.

RubberDuck

There we go ^

Dan Pantry

Those handlers can request the information they require via constructor injection.

EBrown

So, LoginMessageReceived?

Etc?

Dan Pantry

15:25

you could use that.

Or you could just use MessageReceived.

And have the handlers decide what messages they want to listen to.

RubberDuck

Yeah. Similar to how Windows listens for messages.

Dan Pantry

It's up to you. LoginMessageReceived is less backwards compatible than MessageReceived because you would need to add a new event for every message received

You would IMO quickly get a monolith with that pattern.

MessageReceived allows you to not do that, however it might make following the code a bit harder.

EBrown

And how would you suggest I limit the types to watch for? The DataMessageType Type property I already have?

RubberDuck

Eh. I'd still kill that and use typeof instead.

Dan Pantry

In JavaScript we'd listen on a name property or similar

I don't like the idea of typeof but I like the Type property much less

EBrown

15:28

@RubberDuck I could use the object is type idea, and make a few more interfaces for various types to check for.

Dan Pantry

Take the approach that makes the most sense to you

You can avoid doing all of that with more layers of indirection, but then that complicates the problem

RubberDuck

Oh no @Mast. Now I have to figure out what board I want to simulate... it's just a bunch of serial numbers... lol

Dan Pantry

I would say for now you could just do something as simple as

   public void MessageReceived(IMessage message) {
     if(!message is FooMessage) {
       return;
     }
  }

and hook that method up to an event

there's no real 'nice' way to do this unfortunately

Mast

@RubberDuck What are your options?

EBrown

That's the problem, I've been searching for a good way to do something that hasn't one...lol

RubberDuck

15:30

All of them.

I picked this one at random. atmel.com/devices/ATmega16HVB.aspx?tab=documents

Mast

Pick something with an ATmega on it, those can handle pretty much anything you throw at them.

Ah, good pick I guess.

EBrown

I.e., LoginChangeMessageReceived, etc. Where that would handle Login, LoginCredentialsUpdate, etc.

Dan Pantry

I don't think it would be wise to have a multicast event like that.

Either have an event broadcast all types of messages

Or have one event per message

Mast

@RubberDuck Can those be programmed with C++ nowadays?

Dan Pantry

don't try and lump the events together like that or it will just get confusing (because then you start to wonder where you draw the boundaries)

Mast

15:32

I thought that series was still C style, but the programmer is probably converting it anyway...

EBrown

Well my main concern is that I don't want a massive block of code that I cannot break up.

So, if I made them events, I could drop each method to handle each event into it's own class somewhere.

Dan Pantry

You are aware that a massive list of events is going to be a massive block of code that you cannot move, right? ;-)

you can handle each event in their own class regardless of whether you have an event that publishes every message or one event per message, that's moot

EBrown

Yes, but it's more extensible than one event with a massive amount of work to check for. :P

Dan Pantry

I wouldn't necessarily say so..

In your approach you have to add your event listener to a specific event on a class

in mine, you have to check whether the message you are given is something you can handle

You have to bear in mind i'm approaching this from a javascript perspective where this exact pattern is used in Flux

I've seen most people go your approach in C# though, and that's why I said I reckon you should just go with what you think is best

As long as your tests pass the implementation doesn't matter until it starts to leak memory/performance like a sieve

RubberDuck

@Mast yeah. C++ is an option.

Dan Pantry

15:37

this library may also be of interest to you

EBrown

Well, if I were doing events I would prefer to make many events that are verbose of their meaning, than one event and having to wonder which method implements which portions of that event.

Dan Pantry

@EBrown yeah, that is the downside of the approach I suggested (and one of the criticisms levied against Flux)

My approach will likely only work if you architect your application like Flux.

Also, I really do hate C# lol

No, that's a lie, I hate Visual Studio

EBrown

Mast

That's for writing entire output sides, but register values also work.

@EBrown Probably even bigger?

EBrown

@Mast I have the PDF's here on my PC, let me find them.

Mast

EBrown

@Mast The Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual (Volumes 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B and 3C) is 3429 pages.

Vogel612

Concerning the event stuff... what about a Chain of Responsibility!

EBrown

Chain of Responsibility?

Dan Pantry

It's a pattern in programming

EBrown

16:07

You'll have to be more descriptive.

Dan Pantry

It looks (slightly) like this

function chain(input, next) {
  // do something with input
  if(next) return next(input);
}

Chain-of-responsibility pattern

In object-oriented design, the chain-of-responsibility pattern is a design pattern consisting of a source of command objects and a series of processing objects. Each processing object contains logic that defines the types of command objects that it can handle; the rest are passed to the next processing object in the chain. A mechanism also exists for adding new processing objects to the end of this chain. In a variation of the standard chain-of-responsibility model, some handlers may act as dispatchers, capable of sending commands out in a variety of directions, forming a tree of responsibility...
