Hello all
This tutorial i wanted to publish for along time now .
As i see that the indie IO games are building their servers in C++ .
It is intro to writing MMO games but not with the usual Node.js and and similar.
But this time i’m showing you how to assemble WebSocket server using libuv (node.js C networking lib) for the server networking and libwebsocktes for the web-sockets layer.
All server side is in simple pure C
And for client side im using Cocos2d-x the HTML5 version .
