Add send_message_to_connection Usage Example

[ralphweng2023]

Overview

This usage example demonstrates send_message_to_connection by building a "UDP Telemetry Hub" — a real-time telemetry system that sends and receives sprite position data over UDP. A simulated sprite bounces around the window, and its coordinates are formatted as POS:x,y strings and transmitted via UDP. The hub receives these packets, parses the payload, and displays live coordinates in a dashboard-style interface.

SplashKit Functions: create_server (with UDP), open_connection (with UDP), send_message_to, check_network_activity, has_messages, read_message, message_data, close_message, close_all_connections, close_all_servers

Files Included

• Title and explanation (.txt)
• C++ code (SplashKit)
• C# code (Top-Level statements)
• C# code (Object-Oriented Programming)
• Python code
• Screenshot/GIF

Usage Example Checks

• Simple, clear demonstration of the function
• Code uses SplashKit functions
• Uses !quit_requested() (no while(true))
• Allman-style braces (opening { on new line)
• Identical logic and comments across all 4 code versions
• C++ uses snake_case, C# top-level uses camelCase, C# OOP uses Namespace/Class, Python uses snake_case
• Title file contains creative name without the word "Example"
• Python function names verified against API docs (e.g., create_server_with_port_and_protocol, open_connection_with_protocol, send_message_to_connection, has_messages_on_connection, draw_text_no_font_no_size, refresh_screen_with_target_fps)
• Tested in Chrome and Firefox
