Info about how to get a external gremlin view trough internet, lcnc hack.

Hi, long time no see.

The purpose of this post is to inform you about :
how to capture the gremlin screen of any gui
and send it trough internet, showing it on a remote pc.

Short howto :

This code is mainly written in c++, using a python binding class to
hack the glcanon.py file. Where the opgenGl backbuffer is captured.

The packages to be send to host pc are
encoded (compressed) to .png format.

Then the .png is chucked into packages of fixed size to transport over
the sockets client - server connection.

When package's arrive on host pc, they are glue'ed back together,
decoded from. png into raw image data, then result is displayed
trough the gpu compiled shader program.

Result is a nice fps (frame per second), and offcourse a nice hack :
