Description
===========
This is a DirectPlay 8 client/server sample. The client comes in two flavors.
A console based version, and a D3D client. The D3D client can optionally
be run as screen saver by simply copying mazeclient.exe to your
\winnt\system32\ and renaming it to mazeclient.scr. This will make
it a screen saver that will be detected by the display control panel.

============
How to use MazeClient:
If you run "mazeclient.exe" then you'll be in "settings mode".
A dialog box with various settings appears.
If you run "mazeclient.exe /t" then you'll be in "Test mode" where
you don't have to connect to a server, or you can search and join
a server game. There are few simple commands you can type when running
mazeclient in "test mode":
'a': Will turn auto-pilot on/off, but when moving about.
There's isn't colision detection code so you can go through walls.
'r': Will turn reflections on/off.
If you run "mazeclient.exe /s" then you'll be in "Screen Saver mode" on
auto-pilot. This mode will auto-connect to a server, using the settings
from "Setttings Mode". If a server is not found, it will run without
connecting to a server. It will also exit upon mouse/keyboard input.
How to use MazeConsoleClient:
Run it from the cmd line, and it will automatically search for a
session on the local subnet. If you specify a IP address at the cmd
prompt, as in "MazeConsoleClient 255.255.255.255", it will search for
a session at that IP address. If a server is not found or the session
is lost, then it will exit automatically. Hit Crtl-C to close the
session.
How to use MazeServer:
Run it from the cmd line and it will automatically creates a host session
that clients can join.
MazeServer.exe takes an optional command line parameter to set the size of the maze.
For example:
mazeserver.exe /size 16 128
will set the maze to be 16 wide, and 128 high. The width and height are restricted to
these numbers: 16, 32, 64, or 128.
Once started, the server will display a simple command prompt to control the server.
