NAME

       multinode_server - Server program to synchronise several instances of MORSE

SYNOPSIS

       multinode_server [synchronisation delay]

DESCRIPTION

       Socket  server  program  to  synchronise  several  instances of MORSE (nodes) running the same simulation
       scenario.  This program must be started before launching the simulation in the nodes.

       All the client nodes will connect with the server and send it the updated positions of  the  robots  they
       manage.  The  multinode_server  program will concentrate the positions of all robots into a single Python
       dictionary, and then send it back to all clients.

       It also permits pausing the simulation, by typing in its terminal p and  Enter.  The  same  command  will
       allow the simulation to continue.  This mechanism relies on the fact that the clients will remain waiting
       for a reply from the server before continuing with the simulation.

PARAMETERS

       [synchronisation delay]
              Optional parameter that defines the delay (in seconds) between messages to the connected  clients.
              A larger delay will slow down the simulation in all clients. Default value is 0.0
