Types of games
\begin_layout Standard
The implementation of the GGS protocol, together with storage possibilities,
server capacity, and game language support imposes some limitations on
the project.
To get a functional prototype some limits must be set on the types games
that can be played on the prototype.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In theory no limitations, but in reality it will be limitations.
Many factors are involved here.
Implementation of protocol, storage possibilities, server capacity, language
support.
In real time games a low latency is very important not a high bandwidth
because the games already send very little data, ~ 80 bytes.
Lag of below 250 ms is good, lag up to 500 ms payable and beyond that the
lag is noticeable.
The UDP protocol will not be implemented, only TCP, the main reason behind
this is a strict timetable.
This decision means that games that requires a high speed protocol will
not be supported by the GGS prototype.
Another limitation necessary to set on the system is the possibility to
have huge game worlds.
Due to the limited capability of threading in many GDL VM:s, GGS will not
support
\emph on
massively multiplayer online role playing games
\emph default
(MMORPG) games such as
\emph on
World of Warcraft
\emph default
or
\emph on
EVE Online
\emph default
as it is not possible to implement and test something that complex within
the projects timetable.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The GGS is only a small prototype and tests will be performed on simple
games like pong or chess, thus there are no need to implement more advanced
features in the system.
It is important to note that these limitations only apply for the prototype
of the project, and that further developments to GGS could be to implement
these features.
