Dear Louis! Thank you for your thoughts, I am afraid in the future I need mor players in a game than 4, and not always be a game turn by turn.
The reason why I used php is my experinece. All I know about APE server side is writing code in JS, but I don't know for example how to read and write files in server side JS. Sum up, I have to dig deeper, and get more experience on APE server side. In the end I ask some help. Can you show me some example script, or any guideline how to send regulary request to APE from client?
