You could write a new server that uses a CGOS-compatible interface so that the CGOS clients can be used. The server would always match-up two engines from the same IP address that start with the same name prefix. And would only run one game at a time for that IP address and prefix. On the client side, you would run several instances for each CPU core, but only two of them would be in a game at the same time (against each other).
Or something like that. On Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 6:50 PM, Don Dailey <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 6:25 PM, Jacques Basaldúa <[email protected]>wrote: > >> 1.
