Networking & Multiplayer
#1

Hello,

at the moment i try to build a mulitplayer server for a roundbased Multigame for two players. First i describe how the game should be work. First the client press a button and connect to the server. Now, is there a second client (anywhere in the internet) and press the button too, the server put him in one “session/thread” with the first player. Is there now two other player who want to play, the server starts a new “Thread”. for this two players and so on.

But now i didn’t know how to handel thies connection and if a play, for example, moves a stone the right play get this update from the server.

Can anybody tell me how it works or have some codesnippets?

For your information, i want to use kryonet.

Hi, I am also facing the same problem as cronosDev, I have no idea on even how to create the sessions can also anybody tell me how it works or have some codesnippets?

You mean you have a two player game with matchmaking?

Okay:

Server recieves connection from client.
If the waiting list is empty, Server adds client to a waiting list.
Otherwise, Server takes first client from waiting list and makes a new instance of the game.
The game contains the logic thread, and a client listener thread for each client.
Only the actual game interacts with the client input/output.
If at some point a player disconnects, end the game and add the remaining player to the waiting list.
