Possible to perform simultaneous communications

[Suhas-13]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I've been experimenting with ggwave-js and am trying to create a chat-type project that allows back and forth between a group of people, however, issues naturally occur when two devices are transmitting at the same time, is there any way to get around this?

Hi, thanks for the question. It is interesting if someone can think of something smart to tackle this issue. I've written some thoughts on this topic in the following discussion: https://github.com/ggerganov/ggwave/discussions/16

Thanks for the reply, if I wanted to add a new protocol on the JS bindings, how would I go about doing that?

after I make the changes to the ggwave.h file, how do I recompile the js file?

You need to first install Emscripten if you haven't done so. Here are instructions how to install it using emsdk: https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html

Here are the steps to compile a new ggwave.js library, after you have modified the ggwave.h file:

# create a new build path for the Emscripten build
cd /path/to/ggwave
mkdir build-em
cd build-em

# activate the Emscripten compiler
source /path/to/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh

# configure and make the ggwave.js library
emcmake cmake ..
make ggwave

The produced ggwave.js will be available in ggwave/bindings/javascript/ggwave.js
