Just a small note: for exactly this I wrote lua-findserver. You can get it here https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/lua-findserver. It allows to automatically find the server in the local area network using UDP broadcasts. This of course, does not work if the computers are in different networks.
Nevertheless this is also only tiny part in the big adventure to create a multiplayer game.

It looks really great, but we choose to use only local multiplayer in the game with which we are currently working on.
Maybe in future games we finally do a game with online multiplayer mode, but not for now.
. Which game was it?
Server.love
