INTERNET

Internet is the benchmark of todaystechnological world. Internet today hasbecome the eyes, ears of our world. Its

become the fastest means of gettinginformation and gathering the requiredresources to obtain any desired goal or

development of any technology.

Internet continued

Internet as we all know is an informationsuper highway

Internet is itself an ocean and is very vast in

its applications

Internet now has learnt to blend itself with thesurroundings it is used in and has an edge

over all major networking applications.

GAMING

Gaming was once considered just to be anobject of fun and entertainment.

But today gaming has opened a new world

for all kinds of people. Gaming has becomeone of the most important and highly ratedmarket makers.

MORE ABOUT GAMING.

Gaming was once only a concept worth afew pixels.

Gaming now is growing bigger, in fact it

has surpassed the world of cinema in away or two.

History of gaming dates back to the 1980s

and 1990s. We on the other hand discuss gaming in

todays world.

INTERNET+GAMING

Now coming to gaming and internet whichhave a intern relationship of their own.

Gaming now has evolved, into somethingbigger from which one could ever imagine.

Internet and gaming have collaborated intoa completely new application.


7/30

Continued

Internet provides the necessary resources suchas connectivity required between clients andservers, and the games would provide their

share, i.e Fun and excitement. So internet and gaming put together became a

winning combination for most of the top leadingsoftware firms like Microsoft, Nintendo and other

popular firms who cashed in raised their revenue

to greater heights.

What is a gaming server?

A gaming server is one that manages andworks with the various clients that log ontoit.

Clients are basically gamers who want toplay and enjoy over the internet againstopponents from various places.

Clients can vary in number for which theserver should have the ability to handlethe load.

Little More On Gaming Server

Any gaming server has a set of clientsconnected to it.

The client system and as well as the

server system must and should have theapplication installed on them

Whenever the client logs on to the game

he has to configure himself to the serversay by entering the IP address so that theserver comes to know of this new client.


13/30

AND THEN.

Once the client is ready and the serverhas identified the client, the client canenter into the game

Once he enters the game he now can usethe resources provided by the game andstart playing

How Gaming Servers Work

The following is a basic idea of how informationis sent from your computer to the server as wellas other computers on the network:

When a person is playing a game online, whatsa little more important is not the speed butrather the amount of hops, traceroutes, that thedata packets from the computer have to bounce

through (routers/switches) to get to itsdestination.


15/30

How Gaming Servers Work The moment When you input information from your computer it

bounces.

Here is a technical example:

Tracing route to 209.179.21.10 over a maximum of 30 hops

1 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 10.116.182.12 17 ms 13 ms 34 ms boi-edge-01.inet.qwest.net [207.108.227.221]

217.2.92]12 137 ms 143 ms 135 ms 209.179.21.10

Trace complete.


16/30


The route that the data packet takes would befrom a house in Los Angeles to several placesacross the country until it reaches the game

server say somewhere in Pasadena.


17/30



18/30


You tell the computer to shoot(Normally by pressing the left buttonon the mouse)

The data packet is then sent tothe server, via traceroutes. The

server then receives theinformation and sends anotherdata packet known as a replypacket which confirms thepacket has been received.


19/30


While at the same time, the servercalculates your position in 3Dspace, the direction of theprojectile, and takes the position ofthe enemy in 3D space and hismovement speed and direction. It

will then calculate whether or notyou successfully hit your target.

The server decides that you successfully hit your target.It then sends data packets (hit points lost, armor, etc.) toboth you and the enemy telling you that the enemy hasbeen hit.

ENEMY HERE

YOU ARE HERE


20/30


CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU HAVE ELIMINATED

THE ENEMY- SERVER


21/30


This is the basic idea of how information issent between gamers and the server.

KEY TERM: Replication Taking datafrom a given client and replicating it(duplicating + adding to it) back to all theclients.


22/30

Additional but Essential

Now coming back to gaming. Games aremultithreaded applications.

So we must make sure the processorwhich we are using must be very muchcapable of running the application

Usually the processors of the yester yearsare single core.


23/30

WHATS ON NOW

So nowadays companies like INTEL and AMDare rolling out processors having more than onecore such as the dual core processors

The main advantage of having dual coreprocessors are there are two processors whichprovide double the computational power andspeed.

So, games will literally run smoothly on suchprocessors minimizing the glitches and improvethe effects.


24/30

MORE

Now the main area that is beingresearched is Gaming using ADHOCTechnology.

Gaming in Adhoc will open a newdimension if the research succeeds, as aperson can play from anywhere no matterwhere he is.

So Adhoc Gaming is the next andemerging technology in gaming.


25/30

gLITCHES iN gAMING

Un usual hanging of the application due toshortage of resources such as I/O, memory orprocesses.

Decreasing the performance level of the system CHEATING

The user may not be able to feel and experience

the full power of gaming in such situations due tothe above mentioned glitches


26/30

CHEATING

This has by far been the most probableand common glitch in gaming

People use cheat codes that areprogrammed to change the characteristicsof the game and run according to theusers favour.

This is a case of bad sportmanship andvery illegal.


27/30

More about Cheating.

So most companies like Microsoft, Nintendo,Atari are developing games with built inprograms to prevent the occurrence of cheating

So any person trying to cheat when playing willbe denied of it.

In mutliplayer tournaments players cheating, willbe caught and will be disqualified with help fromsuch in built anti cheating software programs.


28/30

CONCLUSIONS

Gaming and internet could bring in lot ofattraction and money as well.

Gaming now is the one of the fastest way to

become rich apart from polictics and lottery. We saw how a gaming server is configured andalso how clients connected to the server playtheir role in running the gaming applications

installed on them. Advancements- the future of the gaming has instore for us, i.e using the Adhoc Technology.
