TLCS-TLCV

toc
 * Home * Software * Web Broadcast * TLCS-TLCV**

a chess game web broadcast [|server] and client (viewer) by Thomas McBurney to transmit and view live games from WinBoard or Arena on the [|internet] using [|UDP].
 * TLCS/TLCV**, (Tom's Live Chess Server and Viewer)

=Server= The TLCS server is a Windows [|console application] written in PowerBASIC, configured by a "server.ini" file. It does not directly interfere with WinBoard or Arena, but monitors and parses its **debug file** to prepare and transmit new information to all connected viewers.

=Clients= The TLCV client is written in Visual Basic with an own GUI to run under Windows. Two alternative TLCV-compatible clients **WBROG** and **REGO** were developed by Andrew Fan, REGO written in platform independent Java to run on various operating systems. A further TLCV-compatible live chess viewer is **livius** by Martin Sedlak written in C++ using [|Qt 5] and released as open source under the [|zlib license], which also gives insights in the TLCS/TLCV protocol in TLCVClient::receive.
