I'm looking into creating a server system capable of housing several players on a home network to start it off an a PC(specs specified at the bottom but its really just a nice 1400$ gaming computer)
The server needs to be able to contain the game data because players change the world and everyone has to see It. The server also needs to be able to show you these changes...if not in real time... as close as I can get It.
well I'm looking into how to go about setting up such a thing and I'm finding misplaced information and in general non relevant or dead topics that have none of these questions I'm am asking...
I know I'm probably asking a question that someone else has had at some point and was wondering if someone could drop some knowledge on me. I'm in the knowledge of this forum being nice and reasonably smart.
so here are the things I'm trying to learn here today:
-- is there a way to se a Desktop to host a server?
-- can the server be written in love 2D?
-- is there a certain type of server I'm trying to create (or should base my code off of) ( game servers Vs whatever else)
-- is it even worth coding the server in love 2D or should I use something else (a program or a language)
-- will I be able to shard the universe and have up to 100 players.. minimum to get the project started.
-- where should I get stated ?
the reasons I'm asking is because we have a game that is a pretty good game and we liked the rawness of LOVE2D over other non free things and even things like corona SDK. I'm well versed in game code and working with small apps for cheating in class and such. Never delved into servers.
please leave helpful and relevant material here. These are serious questions I'm asking this community.
ps: I'm trying to get this to host 100 players or a little less for the fist edition of this game. I'm just trying t get my feet in the door to making
