Running the Example Social Game Client and Social Game Server

First run the Social Game server on an unused port of the server machine. The server also takes an HTML file that it will server to standard http requests for index.html.

bin/gameserver 4000 ../social-gaming/webgame.html

A browser based interface can be accessed by opening the URL http://localhost:4000/index.html. The server will respond with the specified web page above. By clicking Connect, the page gains access to the Social Game on the server via web sockets in browsers that support web sockets.
