Ruby: Sending string over TCP Socket - ruby

Question

I'm pretty new to Ruby, having decided to try my hand with another programming language. I have been trying to get to grips with sockets, which is an area I'm not too familiar with in general. I have created a basic 'game' that allows a player to move his icon around the screen, however, I am trying to make this into something that could be multiplayer using TCP Sockets.
At the moment, when a player launches the game as a host, it creates a server. If the player starts a game as a client, it connects to the server. Currently, it only works on the same machine, but the connection has been established successfully, and when connecting as a client, the server creates a username, sends this back to the client, which then uses it to create a player.
The problem comes when i try to communicate between the server and the client, the messages appear to be sending from server to client, but only partially, and it appears they are largely truncated at either the beginning or end.
If anyone could advice on what is causing this, it would be greatly appreciated. I am using Ruby with Gosu and Celluloid-IO.
SERVER CLASS
require 'src/Game.rb'
require 'celluloid/io'
class Server
include Celluloid::IO
finalizer:shutdown
def initialize
puts ("server init")
#super
#playersConnected = Array.new
#actors = Array.new
#server = TCPServer.new("0.0.0.0", 28888)
##server.open(8088)
puts #server
async.run
end
def run
loop {
async.handle_connection #server.accept
}
end
def readMessage(socket, player)
msg = socket.recv(30)
data = msg.split"|"
#playersConnected.each do |p|
if p.getUser() == player
p.setX(data[1])
p.setY(data[2])
end
#puts "END"
end
end
def handle_connection(socket)
_, port, host = socket.peeraddr
user = "#{host}:#{port}"
puts "#{user} has joined the game"
#playersConnected.push(Player.new(user))
socket.send "#{user}", 0
#socket.send "#{Player}|#{user}", 0
#socket.send "#{port}", 0
puts "PLAYER LIST"
#playersConnected.each do |player|
puts player
end
Thread.new{
loop{
readMessage(socket, user)
#divide message
#find array index
#update character position in array
}
}
Thread.new{
loop{
#playersConnected.each do |p|
msg = p.getUser() + "|" + "#{p.getX}" + "|" + "#{p.getY}"
socket.send(msg, 0)
end
}
}
end
Server.new
end
CLIENT CLASS
require 'src/Game.rb'
class Client < Game
#finalizer :shutdown
def initialize
super
#socket = TCPSocket.new("localhost", 28888)
#188.222.55.241
while #player.nil?
#player = Player.new(#socket.recv(1024))
puts #player
puts #player.getUser()
#player.warp(0, 0)
pulse
end
end
def pulse
Thread.new{
loop{
msg = #player.getUser() + "|" + "#{#player.getX()}" + "|" + "#{#player.getY()}"
#socket.write(msg)
}
}
Thread.new{
loop{
msg = #socket.recv(1024)
data = msg.split"|"
puts data[0]
match = false
#players.each do |player|
if player.getUser() == data[0]
puts "MATCHX"
player.setX(data[1])
player.setY(data[2])
match = true
end
if match == false
p = Player.new(data[0])
#p.warp(data[1],data[2])
#players.push(p)
end
end
puts "end"
}
}
end
Client.new.show
end
Side note; There is also a Host class, which mimics the client class, only it calls the server. I am aware this is a terrible way to do things, i intend to fix it once i overcome the current issue.
Many thanks in advance
