WARTBED uses a strict client-server architecture, where even local games are clients to a game server.

A network system should be designed. For this suitable libraries should be located and existing projects should be investigated

• Libraries
  • The Boost::ASIO cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming
  • ACE (The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment) is a high-efficiency OO network programming toolkit in C++
• Existing game projects to study
  • Glest
  • Spring -- There is a lobby for Spring (SpringLobby) done in wxWidgets that might be of use.
  • The open and free MANGOS World of Warcraft server project could provide good inspiration (uses ACE).
