DreamServer

This is a... simple server created with love, and C++.

I always dreamed of learning how to create a full customizable C++ server with sockets. So, this is a dream, that came true.

Features

Despite a lot of errors, poorly optimized code and structure among other things, I can list some of the good things that this server has:

• Nice console window created with fmt library, featuring:

  • Customizable number of log messages in console window, that are shown as numbered lines for easy recognition;

  • Four different types of message (Success, Info, Warning, Error), each one with it's own icon;

  • All log messages are saved in a log file:
    

  • A status bar showing useful stats:
    

• An INI file lets you configure limits and common server settings like port, maximum number of clients, etc;

• Debug Mode: Lets you bypass some standard blocking settings like duplicated IPs, etc;

Next ideas and TODOs

• More status icons (thread workload, CPU consuption);
• An embed Finite State Machine to improve application workflow;
• Implementing rooms;
• Deal with dataraces;
• Implementing thread-safe solutions;
• Reorganize code structure;
• More configurations in INI file, less hardcoded values.
