You don't need to run the route commands for this.

The output of your route display:
> ROOT> route
> Kernel IP routing table
> Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
> 192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

Note the Detination column.  This, combined with the Genmask column, means
that this row is for IP traffic for 192.168.0.anything.  The '*' in the
Gateway column means that no gateway is needed, that this is just a local
interface.  (You see which one, of course, in the Iface column.)  Have you
tried running your program yet?  You said you could ping one computer from
the other, so I suspect all is well.

If you don't want to refer to the machines by numbers, stick a couple of
lines in your /etc/hosts file on each host:
192.168.0.1     machine1
192.168.0.3     machine2
