Server structure

This is not a final state, but a merely a proposal.

aimed structure

processes

• one process listening for new connections
• per client:
  • one process for receiving packets, notifies chunk and entity manager of position updates
• one process for managing chunks
  • knows which chunks each client has loaded
  • sends chunks to client / unloads chunks from client according to position updates
• one process for managing entities
  • knows which entities each client has loaded
  • informs clients about entities near, unloads entities from clients if necessary, according to position updates

public/protected tables

• ets table for storing a list of clients (player name, receiving process id, socket for sending packets)
