Socket: Problem in transferring data

[318097]

PR #107 includes the code to transfer the updates from client to server & back again.

This problem occurs when the whole 'room' object is sent back.

It works fine when 'pacmanOne' & 'pacmanTwo' is sent. (In short, there is a problem when huge data is sent)

Please come to a conclusion about this problem.

@318097 Can you give the exact steps to reproduce this issue.

[shivangg]

Check for circular references in the room object.
Try stringifying the whole room object before sending. stringify will fail and tell if room has some circular references.

Take a look here

@318097 the event for sending new game state from server to client was already there. Please go through the startGame method in game controller. It sends the current game state to all the clients in the room. You just have to update the game state in the calculateNextGameState method. All the other things like sending game info at regular intervals from server to client, starting the game after 3 seconds and leaving the room have been done in my PR.

@Shalinit3 Ok, will check.
