A simple peer-to-peer network to synchronize a common state.

SimplyP2P

SimplyP2P is a simple Peer-to-peer network that synchronize a common boolean state between all peers and show the current state in a GUI, with some buttons to change its value in all peers. the reference value is the time expressed as unix timestamp, if the value is greater than that of the currently contained value, the status of current node is updated, otherwise the update will be discarded because it is considered obsolete.

Warning

This project is fully working, and the crash problem has been resolved. State updates are instant and are received by all peers.

However, the GUI library used is in a mid alpha state and was chosen because it is simple to use and very light: it's used to show the current state of the system and allow you to modify it.
