Volity game parlor provides an online gaming platform featuring various multi-player games. It offers a variety of playing options and allows users to play games with others from around the world. Users can join games or host their own and compete for virtual prizes.
While it is possible to start a server from within the code, it is more likely that the server will be started from the volityd program. To launch the server, you would use the volityd command line and set the desired user and password in the command line configuration.
An object of the Volity::Server class is essentially a Volity parlor. It's referred to as a Volity::Server due to historical tradition. The main purpose of this class is to function as a black-box application class. By constructing the object with a configuratory hash reference and then calling the start method, the XMPP authentication works, and you now have a running server.
It must be noted that this class may not be necessary to use directly. If you're working with Volity and are not interested in delving deep into the system, it is likely that you won't need to use this class at all. Parlor objects are created and managed for you by the volityd program.
For those interested in creating Volity games in Perl, it is recommended to utilize Volity::Game instead. The rest of this man page is recommended to those who want to perform deep voodoo with these libraries.
