Design Requirements

There are many planned features for GGZ. Some will take longer than others to implement. Some may be discarded at a later date. The following ones are available already (not ordered yet):

• Password-based user accounts

• Ability to leave and then rejoin game

• Ability to reserve games for specific users

• Capability for users to chat without resorting to second port/socket

• Basic infrastructure from game developers to write network games without having to worry about connections/login/user accounts/etc.

• Multiple "rooms" in which to play games. These rooms may reside on different servers, transparent to the user.

Planned features include (but are not limited to):

• Persistent user statistics

• Dynamic run-time configuration of server

• Ability to add/remove game types from server without having to recompile
