This package provides you with a quake-style console for your games. The console gathers messages and lets you scroll trough them. It also can display a command line.

This package is just a base class setting up everything, but doesnt actually render anything.

See Games::Console::SDL and Games::Console::OpenGL for subclasses that implement the actual rendering to the screen via SDL and OpenGL, respectively.

Mantaray Console is a distributed, peer-to-peer, server-less communication & messaging solution for JAVA (JMS), C++ and .NET app. Offers guaranteed delivery, security and transactions. It supports TCP, SSL & HTTP protocols.

Basic Installation Instructions
-------------------------------
1. Extract the MantaRay file under a directory of your choice.
From now on, this directory will be called MANTA_HOME.

2. Set the VM argument.
This argument should hold the path (full/relative) to the MantaRay configuration file.
The default name of the MantaRay configuration file is default_config.xml, and it is
located in config directory.
To set the argument add the following text in the VM execution command:
-DmantaConfig=
Example:
java -DmantaConfig=c:/mantaray1.9/default_config.xml MyApp
For further information on how to set the mantaConfig argument, see the MantaRay User Guide.

3. Optional: Set a name for the MantaRay domain.
The domain name is the name of the group to which the peer will be related.
Setting this parameter prevents collisions between peers that dont share the group.
To change the domain name, set the value of the tag MY-PEER.DOMAIN in the MantaRay
configuration file.
For further information about the domain parameter, see the MantaRay User Guide.

4. Optional: Set MantaRay peer name in the configuration file of MantaRay.
Each MantaRay peer needs to have a unique name. To change the peer name, set the
value of the tag MY-PEER.NAME in the MantaRay configuration file.
By default, MantaRay sets the peer name according to the following format:
m
Example:
Local resolved IP: 192.168.1.44
Free port (in port range): 6600
The name of the MantaRay peer: m192.168.1.446600
For further information about the peer name parameter, see the MantaRay User Guide.

5. Optional: Change the mulicast IP address and multicast port.
These parameters are used when one enables the MantaRay Auto Discovery plugin (default).
Changing this parameter for each MantaRay peer in the same domain assures that all
the peers in the same domain are discovered, and that peers that dont belong to that
domain will not be discovered and will not interfere.
