Re: server side games question

Good day! Some time ago I tried to create game server for games on line(people with people)... poker, preferance, chess and so on.... well as I was wery new in this action I tried diferent languages and even operation systems. At last (for some hawy rezons :-) ) I stoped on Client-Server model (Delphi+any database supported ODBC&BDE) on Win NT.... (I feel that beter way is the same model on Unix & C++ but I am not expiriensed in Unix process & memory organization so have to use more light way). So the best way for online games is write your own client and server on C++ but use Appach-Some_Browser(by the way what it will be? IE1,2,3,4,5,6? NC? Mozilla? object model support?). There much gains you reciving using the model (first you know how it works + low trafick). Well.... but if you simply whant create games like Tetris or Digger online (man<.....>server) than ofcouse better use IE5-6 as client (with it exelent object model) and server on PHP&MySQL. Vladimir.
