Week 13 - Facial recognition code using a TCP Server to Crysis

In order for me to link my facial recognition code, Steve suggested I use a TCP server and a client. He found this code below that was very helpful.

//

/*   Server Program    */

                

using System;

using System.Text;

using System.Net;

using System.Net.Sockets;

public class serv {

    public static void Main() {

    try {

        IPAddress ipAd = IPAddress.Parse("172.21.5.99");

         // use local m/c IP address, and

         // use the same in the client

/* Initializes the Listener */

        TcpListener myList=new TcpListener(ipAd,8001);

/* Start Listeneting at the specified port */       

        myList.Start();

       

        Console.WriteLine("The server is running at port 8001...");   

        Console.WriteLine("The local End point is  :" +

                          myList.LocalEndpoint );

        Console.WriteLine("Waiting for a connection.....");

       

        Socket s=myList.AcceptSocket();

        Console.WriteLine("Connection accepted from " + s.RemoteEndPoint);

       

        byte[] b=new byte[100];

        int k=s.Receive(b);

        Console.WriteLine("Recieved...");

        for (int i=0;i<k;i++)

            Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(b[i]));

        ASCIIEncoding asen=new ASCIIEncoding();

        s.Send(asen.GetBytes("The string was recieved by the server."));

        Console.WriteLine("\nSent Acknowledgement");

/* clean up */           

        s.Close();

        myList.Stop();

           

    }

    catch (Exception e) {

        Console.WriteLine("Error..... " + e.StackTrace);

    }   

    }

   

}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

/*       Client Program      */

using System;

using System.IO;

using System.Net;

using System.Text;

using System.Net.Sockets;

public class clnt {

    public static void Main() {

       

        try {

            TcpClient tcpclnt = new TcpClient();

            Console.WriteLine("Connecting.....");

           

            tcpclnt.Connect("172.0.0.1",6000);

            // use the ipaddress as in the server program

           

            Console.WriteLine("Connected");

            Console.Write("Enter the string to be transmitted : ");

           

            String str=Console.ReadLine();

            Stream stm = tcpclnt.GetStream();

                       

            ASCIIEncoding asen= new ASCIIEncoding();

            byte[] ba=asen.GetBytes(str);

            Console.WriteLine("Transmitting.....");

           

            stm.Write(ba,0,ba.Length);

           

            byte[] bb=new byte[100];

            int k=stm.Read(bb,0,100);

           

            for (int i=0;i<k;i++)

                Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(bb[i]));

           

            tcpclnt.Close();

        }

       

        catch (Exception e) {

            Console.WriteLine("Error..... " + e.StackTrace);

        }

    }

}

//

The code above allowed us to use the output from my facial recognition code and input it to Crysis. This is possible by using a local server ip address and declaring the same port number. After incorporating the code above into my facial recognition code we were able to set up facial recognition in Crysis.
