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

if you Google for "black nova traders" you can still find copies of the code 
that was used to create one of the most accessible multi player online games 
that I have ever seen, and you could use that php code to guide you through 
building your chess battle game setup.

the best thing is although you will need a data base capability on the site, it 
is simple to set up and run, no big complex problems to mess you up.

  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.

    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
