Title: Info to make a small OO game server
Post by: fixus971 on July 08, 2012, 03:48:18 pm

Hi, I'm just made half of a turns based game with SFML with server on local linux standard computer.
Now I want to understand how can I put server part on internet server to play with others players.
I can't found info about how to put my small game server on internet server.
<<How I have to develop server software so it can run on internet server.>>
Where can I find informations and small example?

If you know.. I finding also some example schema to organize well my game objects (software) between "pure logical" part for server and "logic+graph" part for client. How to organize basic objects and client object with graph. (Obj Inheritance)

Thanks -Fixus

I'm not sure what you're imagine an "internet server" to be... ;D

So since your server application runs on linux you just have to find a server provider (or setup one of your own) that let's you install applications (VM or full access servers probably, e.g. Hetzner.de (https://www.hetzner.de/)) and then just install your application and run it.
A server is mostly nothing else than your normal PC, just that its hardware is layed out for extensive use, but the software/OS is just linux.
