The autolan-ipv6 from roaminggamer

autolan-ipv6's Introduction

Auto LAN IPv6

This 'project' is derived from the (Free) AutoLan by 'MY Developers'

as such, all credit for the original library should go to them.

This repository contains various examples and modified files that came out of this disucssion:

In short, AutoLan was developed for an earlier version of Lua Sockets (2.0) and when LuaSockets 3.0 came out, it stopped working.

Several experts worked on this and came up w/ solutions to the issue. Those solutions are provided here for future reference and posterity.

modules/ - Folder containing 'modified' server and client modules from AutoLan that should be (at least partially) fixed to work on ipv4 and ipv6.
pong demo/ - Modified version of scottrules44 changes (by RoamingGamer) to work equally on Corona versions before and after 2016.2833. (Auto-senses socket2 versus socket3)
pong demo 3.zip - Version of pong demo changed by scottrules44 to be ipv6 compliant.

If you are running Corona 2016.2833 (uses socket3) or later, you must run the pong demo on separate devices for it to work. You can run both instances on the same machine for versions before that.
