Class F4Server

java.lang.Object
  org.xistrat.net.F4Server

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class F4Server
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

F4Server is to be run as a daemon. It spawns F4Daemon to handle single games.
This servers is configurable to allow for N games in parallel. It dispatches game request to the appropriate F4Daemon, depending on a game id.

First: a player decides to setup a new game: It chooses a name (must be unique) and receives a unique ID. Once a game has ended its slot is freed to allow for other games.

Second: A client decides to join a game, selected from a list: from now on it plays with a specific F4Daemon.

It is the main server class, and the one that contains the actual "main".

Since:

0.5.42
