Programming Notes
=================
The Memory sample is very similar in form to the SimplePeer sample. For
detailed programming notes on the basics this sample, refer to Programming
Notes section of the SimplePeer sample.
* An image is clicked.
1. If it's your turn, show the picture.
2. Fills out a byte array telling everyone else to show the picture.
3. Calls DirectPlay8Peer.SendTo with the byte array. It passes
DPNID_ALL_PLAYERS_GROUP so this message goes to everyone.
* Handle DirectPlay system messages. See implemented DirectPlay8Event interfaces
The Chat sample handles the typical messages as described in the
SimplePeer programming notes, and in addition:
- Upon Receive event:
*Checks the type of this message.
*Selects off of the message type.
*If MSG_SETUPBOARD, retreive board information and udpate local state.
*If MSG_SHOWPIECE, show the indicated piece.
*If MSG_HIDEPIECES, hide all pieces that aren't currently matched.
*If MSG_TURNEND, advance to the next players turn.
*If MSG_CHAT, receive a text string, and update the UI.
*If MSG_MATCHED, set the state so these two pictures are matched.
