Code: Select all

local sock = require("lib/networking/sock")

local server = sock.newServer(my_ip_here, 27015)
where my_ip_here is a string that is my public ip address.
What operating system are you running? Did you try running as administrator/root?

It would be awesome if you could provide a simple example of its usage, like making a box move

It's a sample on its basic usage, but not a sample about implementing it in a very simple game.

How can I handle a invalid host name?.

Code: Select all

Class = require('libs.hump.class')
Play = Class{}
function Play:myGames()
	return 'https://indrajith.dev'
end

Can you post your code? Or at least the code that causes the error? (I'm assuming this will be a call to newServer or newClient)

OK
My scenario is this :
Suppose I started a server @ 192.168.0.100:22122. But I'm trying to connect a server @ 192.168.0.100:2000 or may be the IP I put caused an typo error. How can I handle this.

server

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    server = sock.newServer("192.168.0.100", 22122) -- The port here is 22122
    .....
    .....
end
client

Code: Select all

function love.load()    
    client = sock.newClient("192.168.0.100", 2000) -- The port here is 2000, this can be another IP
    .....
    .....
end
How can I handle such scenario / catch those errors ?

Code: Select all

Class = require('libs.hump.class')
Play = Class{}
function Play:myGames()
	return 'https://indrajith.dev'
end

It sounds like you want to use xpcall (https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#pdf-xpcall) to handle the error. NOTE: I have linked the Lua 5.2 docs for xpcall. Lua 5.1 does not support passing arguments through xpcall, but 5.2 does and LuaJIT (which LÖVE runs on) has ported this feature.

Code: Select all

local function handleError(err)
    print("Error: " .. err)
    return err
end
local ok, result = xpcall(sock.newClient, handleError, "192.168.0.1", 12345)

if ok then
    -- do something with client
    local client = result
else
    -- do something with error
    local err = result
end
Hopefully this gets you close to what you want.
