Server program for tetrinet
tetrinet-server
tetrinet-server is a server program for tetrinet-client(6), a networked version of tetris. You can use it to server both a TetriFast and an original server for up to 6 people to connect and play. It doesn't support any fancy features like different channels, but still includes support for configureable cookie mode and a small winlist.
tetrinet-server doesn't take any options at all. It reads all its settings from ~/.tetrinet on startup and creates a default file if there isn't one already there.
This is a short explenation of the configurationfile ~/.tetrinet together with its default entries. It is written after every game or when the server quits. If it is not there it will be created automatically.
winlistAlcan;0;3;1 AndrewK;0;2;1
This is the winlist the server keeps. Each parameter consists of four semicolon-seperated fields: Name;Team;Points;Games.Team is a flag which is either 1 if the entry is for a team or 0 if the entry is for a player. Points is just the number of points for the entry, and Games is the number of games the entry has participated.
