BBStream Module Official Release

Hey!

I am happy to announce the official release of my second module, BBStream. It summarizes TSocket and TSocketStream functions into BlitzBasic-like TCP functions.

Functions:
BBAcceptTCPStream
BBCloseTCPStream
BBCreateTCPServer
BBCreateTCPStream
BBEof
BBGetSocket
BBGetSocketStream
BBReadAvail
BBReadBank
BBReadByte
BBReadInt
BBReadLine
BBReadShort
BBTCPStreamIP
BBTCPStreamPort
BBTCPStreamRemoteIP
BBTCPStreamRemotePort
BBWriteBank
BBWriteByte
BBWriteInt
BBWriteLine
BBWriteShort

The name BBStream is kind of misleading, since it's not *.bb, but *.bmx. anyhow, thanks for sharing, seems to be quite useful.

Blitz Basic TCP Stream
Anyway, I thought it made sense. :P As long as people like it, who cares.

Of course, that's not a biggie... Tho, I care since I haven't got BMax so far. I promised to buy it when the 3D Module is released, and so did I.

How is this different from BMX TCP? All thats different a.f.a.i.c.s. really is the Write/Read Bank/Line features. Its actualy missing stuff comapred to the BMX TCP or did i miss something?
Anyway, i like the execution of your product. You really spend good care on it. So, nice work man :)

It's not really different. It just makes using Sockets and SocketStreams easier by calling them by B+/B3D similar functions.

EXAMPLE:
Instead of:

socket:TSocket=CreateTCPSocket()
If Not BindSocket(socket, 8080) Or Not SocketListen(socket)
     CloseSocket(socket)
     End
EndIf

socketstream:TSocketStream=CreateSocketStream(socket)

It's:

stream:TBBStream=CreateTCPServer(8080)
If Not stream
     End
EndIf

Hi KED

It's mod is only for win32?

No source code in mod, and i dont build it for Mac or Linux

Yes, IceVAN, it is currently only a Win32 module.

Looks good Ked. I think the name is apt considering your functions are based on the Blitzbasic ones.

jfk: you should get BMax now, it's fun to have it just sitting there on your desktop and learning a new language is best done slowly anyway.
