If the server's 4000 port is full and it doesn't let you play the game, try ports 4001 and 4002.

*More* servers are needed to host the game's server side!



New graphics are wanted. If you are a graphics artist, by all means, please change the graphics to something more pleasing (my version is not that good ! (all gfx reside in the included .png file) Mon, 12 Aug 2002 21:41:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? One of my many unfinished projects in my dev folder is a networked version of reversi (yeah I know that it's been done so many times before), and I've been thinking about picking it up again. This article game me a little more motivation to do so, and a lot of useful information. Thanks Jeremy!

I host a MUSCLE server at www.beryllium.ca - primarily for BeShare users, but I guess other stuff would work fine too.

I'd love to have some sort of Checkers/Battleship/TicTacToe/Connect Four/Literati (Yahoo! Scrabble) type package for users to play with. Probably wouldn't have much luck coding it on my own though Mon, 12 Aug 2002 22:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? It should be noted that FoxRabbitCarrot won't work properly on a "vanilla" MUSCLE server... it requires some custom server logic, and so you have to run the included customized server ("frcd") instead of the normal one ("muscled") if you want to host FoxRabbitCarrot games. (frcd should compile and run on any machine where muscled compiles and runs... in particular, the server machine does not need Qt support) Mon, 12 Aug 2002 22:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Great article Jeremy! Very nice I'm running a server at kns.dyndns.org:4000 if anyone wants to connect.
