Creating a small server..
Author
What would be the best way to create a small server? (<50 clients)
Functions:
Listen for incomming connections on port
Read incomming data from clients
Write data to other clients
Broadcasting all recived info to the other clients to put it simple, after verifying its valid.
asynchronous sockets is not an option as it has to be linux-portable.
What would be the best way? threads?
(TCP)

Excuse my ignorance but I''ve got to ask why client server if you are having less than 50 players and you are just going to pass the data to all the cients anyways? Wouldnt P2P be way easier? Then for save games you could implement a character save.
Unless you are talking a persistant world or you are truely concerned about hacking the datastream
Jsut a thought.
