Types of games 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.

In theory no limitations, but in reality it will be limitations. The UDP protocol will not be implemented, only TCP, the main reason behind

\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.
