RE: What are good technologies for two player game servers?

Hi Richard,
The solution I was looking at is PHP.

Hi Jim,

At this point, I am not sure what I want to do, I need to find out what is 
possible first.  To some extent, what I want to do will be dependant on what is 
possible to do.  I am trying to find out likely technologies to look into.

I suspect a Python web framework like Zope, Twisted or other  may be a good 
solution, but I don't want to discount Ruby or other solutions.  I have little 
experience or knowledge in this area and am looking for suggestions of what is 
possible.

I am reasonably certain that whatever it is, I want users to be able to do it 
through a browser.  My primary goals are that the solution be universally 
accessible, simple and robust.

Richard

Hi Richard,
How exactly would this work? I'm asking because I saw a content control system 
that is built to handle a chess club on the internet, but I'm not sure if it 
has the features you are looking for. I know that you have my personal e-mail 
address and Skype ID. We can talk about it later on tonight. I will try to find 
it and send you the link to it.

Subject: What are good technologies for two player game servers?

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
