War in Hex daemon is a Online multipler server written in Erlang.

Great performance and uptime even on a Raspberry Pi 2.

Under GPLv3

There are other versions which are will not be as supported. Rust version.

I recommend running it in screen with the shell open but most people will probably just want to run it with noshell.

$ erl -pa ebin/ -noshell -s wihd start

Either compile from command line

$ erlc src/wihd.erl

Or run in shell

$ erl
$ c(wihd).
$ wihd:start().

To connect to the server make sure the server port is accessible (1664 by default) and connect with the War in Hex client like so

$ python main.py -n SERVER_IP:SERVER_PORT -g GAME_NAME

To start a lobby or connect to one called GAME_NAME.

You can ommit the -g flag and GAME_NAME to connect to the "Any" lobby.

A TCP connection is made to the server and then the client sends the GAME_NAME (which is sent as a quoted string) this is stored by the server. If there is no already existing client connected with that GAME_NAME a lobby is created.

If there is an already existing lobby then a relay connection is made between the sockets.
