Hi All,
What sort of internet technologies are well suited to build a server for two
player games.
I am considering developing a server system for controlling on going chess
games, that is keeping track of all the moves so far, the time used by each
player and so forth all via a text web interface. Many games would be in
progress at the same time and so each on-going game would be in a database that
is updated as new moves arrive.
I have been looking at just using something simple like cgi scripted pages with
form controls generated at the server by Python, but that seems a little clunky.
Can anyone suggest suitable technologies for me to look at?
I have a good knowledge of Python, C++ and C, but will always consider learning
a new language if desirable like PHP or even PERL.
Also I want to use a web hosting service not run my own server. So I am
looking for something commonly available.
Richard
