Where's the breaks on this thing!?

This is pretty cool, I don't like cars, but I love simple strategy games.
I wonder what it's like when you're not just playing alone...

Until Germanunkol solves the issue, it can be played online by editing main.lua (or dedicated.lua if you want to run a dedicated server) and replacing
MAIN_SERVER_URL = "http://germanunkol.de/gridcars/serverlist"
with
MAIN_SERVER_URL = "http://www.formauri.es/personal/AffairMainServer"

That's the URL of the main server that acts as a directory of playing servers, necessary to play over the internet. I also have a dedicated playing server which should appear in the list, though that last one isn't permanent.

I'll try to be watching and enter a game if I see anyone!

Forked, updated to Löve 11.1+ and changed the URL of the server finder as the original one is dead:

Note I don't run a server, only a server finder.

Good work
Dedicated can also be modified to run with love. Since:
* LFS function utilized is available in love
* socket is available in love
* installing lua, and lfs and socket for lua can be relatively difficult

How to make own server and run it online? I've never had a server before.

That's reasonable. I've implemented it.

When you run it normally, if you select Start Server (Online), it will start a server and announce the server in the server finder, so that others can connect to it by choosing Connect.

If you want to have an online server but without a GUI, you can run it with: love GridCars.love --dedicated (on Windows you may need to run lovec instead of love, not sure). That will start a server from the command line, without opening a Löve window, and announce it to the server finder.

Apologies, I forgot to test without a config.txt and it turns out that I made two blatant mistakes. Fixed in 1.1.1:
