Network / Info to make a small OO game server

« 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

Network / How to dev an online server for a simple game

« on: April 23, 2011, 02:37:48 pm »

I'm finding info about how to develop the online part of server for a simple 4players 2D  strategic game.

I find for hours but drop all times on sites and tread for a big games.

I just done 1/2game with client and server on my local net but
now I want to understand if is possible to put the server side of game on an online shared server.

I want to know if I can use SFML libs on a game server. And Graph-Lib?

This is a strategic game with a very small use of TCP pakets but I think that here we have a bad ADSL line to do that in home.

Where can I found info about small online server for my small game?

Thanks for any suggestions. -Fixus

SFML wiki / GatorQue GQE APP Example

« on: April 17, 2011, 07:34:23 pm »

He, I know SFML and do my Library with it but now I see GQE.
I like GQE project, I study it and I compiled it under Linux but..
Demo Example of GQE is like NULL.
I don't figure out how to use it in correct way.
I need a small but real example.
How can I construct my game?
I have to inherit App or add States and How.
I'm know OOP but I'm not an expert.
Many Thanks to GatorQue or good man of SFML for help.  -Fixus

SFML projects / Flibs=FixusLibs: Sys Res SFMLVideo CEGUI-Helping NetSerCli

« on: January 29, 2011, 07:05:29 pm »

I posted my first project using this libs:

Trasporter: Object Oriented project of a double conveyer AI

http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4058&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

Because was developed at birth of this libs it uses few functions/classes
but it is still compatible after 2 years.

One nice class of Flibs offer to this application
a convenient sprite trail effect to debug movements.

SFML projects / Trasporter: Object Oriented project of a double conveyer AI

« on: January 29, 2011, 06:37:36 pm »

Hi. I just make my first review of my first project using: C++, OOP, SFML + Flibs

Trasporter screenshot thumbnail:

Trasporter screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5385637/Dev/Trasporter%20screenshot.png

Trasporter Video: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5385637/Dev/Trasporter.mpg

Trasporter classes chart:

Trasporter is a Object Oriented project of a double conveyer simulation with a double view for comparison.

Here I used Sprites with some effect to have many color from one image and to get a trail of movements to debug movements.
I used some simple graph function of SFML to trace scheduled moves.

Every conveyer have an integrated AI with:
2 automatic modes with different chassis precedence
1 convenient semi automatic mode
1 totally free manual mode for test porpoise
* anti Crash system that look around others conveyer moves intention also if other conveyer is in manual mode.

Plant is reconfigurable as hardware and setup.

Next I used View to separate screen and simulate 2 different plants.

This project was converted and now really work into a Simatic S7 PLC.

« on: January 28, 2011, 04:12:02 pm »

Yes, u r right! I'm working to clearing and fill English comments but I can't found time and capacity to do all.
but.. my libraries code isn't bad I think, I hope.
I'm  working to port here 1 semi complete project that use this libs and a video to see results.. thanks to SFML ^_^

retry to post libs link:

PS: my GUI library is a Helping interface versus CEGUI GUI.

Isn't professional version but is OOP and run well without problems.
I made this libs in 2 years working on 3 my projects..
Next I can take you my programs based on that libs.

Unfortunately I don't have time to complete all libs so
I want starting to share all that with SFML community that I love.
 
I want continue to grow this libs remaining at a simple level of integration for final programs.

Actually I have started a collaboration with GatorQue that made great Game Engine

Now I need your impression about this project..
 and if you like.. a support to publish well in wiki.

Have a great year, -Fixus971

General / How to compile SFML 1.5 on Linux Ubuntu: packages

« on: June 19, 2009, 02:50:43 am »

I'm compiled SFML v1.5 on a fresh Linux Mint(Ubuntu)
finding needed: libraries, packages, include files .h, lib files.so
using this Ubuntu web tool: http://packages.ubuntu.com/  ("Search the contents of packages")

I spent 2 hours to do this starting from SFML compile errors so now I write here my work result for all others and Ask if someone found some alternative mode to setup all.

build-essential
mesa-common-dev
libxrandr-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev
libfreetype6-dev
libopenal-dev
libsndfile1-dev

To compile simly go in SFML dir and type "make"
