# webrtc-client

A native client library for WebRTC written in C and [libdatachannel](https://github.com/paullouisageneau/libdatachannel) (POSIX only because Windows does not have `` or ``, TODO: use Cygwin or cross-platform alternative libraries)

Requires a signalling server, [rustysignal](https://github.com/liraymond04/rustysignal) is the one I used during testing, and includes custom protocol for rooms used in the `chat` example

## Examples

Use the `-f` to specify a path to a text file with ICE servers, or `-s` with a comma separated list of ICE servers

- `chat`: TUI chat application using ncurses, use the `help` command to see what you can do!

- `game`: Simple GUI "game" using [olc PGE](https://github.com/Moros1138/olcPixelGameEngineC), see your friends shmovin' in real-time (or 60fps, give or take). Use the WASD keys to move around, and use Esc to exit the game.

## Building

Prerequesites are `cmake`, `ninja`, and `gcc`, which you can install with your distribution package manager

Ex) Arch Linux

```bash

$ sudo pacman -S cmake ninja gcc

```

Generate CMake build files and start build

```bash

# You can pass in -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF to only build the library

# and -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF to build as shared library

$ cmake -B build -G Ninja

$ cmake --build build

```

And run one of the example applications

```bash

# Look in the examples folder to see what you can try,

# the executables should have the same names as their

# respective source files

#

# To pass in ice servers with -s, specify server URLs

# with the format specified in the libdatachannel docs

# ex) stun:stun.l.google.com:19302

# ex) turn:user:[email protected]:443

$ ./build/chat -f ice_servers.txt

```
