World Series Baseball 2k2

Protocol:

The game is mainly P2P (as with the rest of the sports titles) but used a lobbying server system (with authorization) for matchmaking and finding players/games.

Client netcode written in C with the "NexGen Stack", supported by XML parsing of data between client and servers for keeping up with scores.
The game does support connections through:

• Internal modem
• Serial modem (although this has not been tested yet)

An example of the games' GameListMessage[] sent to the server:

        "<Payload Encoding=\"None\" Compression=\"None\">\r\n"
        "    <Packet Type=\"ListGames\">\r\n"
        "    </Packet>\r\n"
        "</Payload>"

and XML payloads sent from client:

    case rppCreateGame:
                    Net_GameSessionReceiveNewGame( pXMLDocument );
                    break;

                case rppDeleteGame:
                    Net_GameSessionReceiveDeleteGame( pXMLDocument );
                    break;

                case rppLaunchGame:
                    Net_GameSessionReceiveLaunchGame( pXMLDocument );
                    break;

                case rppJoinGame:
                    Net_GameSessionReceiveJoinGame( pXMLDocument );
                    break;

                case rppLeaveGame:
                    Net_GameSessionReceiveLeaveGame( pXMLDocument );
                    break;

                case rppUpdateGameSettings:
                    Net_GameSessionReceiveEditGameData( pXMLDocument );
                    break;

                case rppReadyGamePlayer:
                    Net_GameSessionReceiveReadyPlayer( pXMLDocument );
                    break;
