The server is moving into the go-gma project as of the v5.0.0 release of the latter.
Go port of the GMA mapper service.
This is a work in progress. It represents an expanded and reworked version of my initial stab at a Go port of the original Python server, now that the newer protocol and supporting API have been better defined.
This is a personal side project, and the Go implementation was done in spare time over a week or so, so I'm not saying this is a thoroughly designed and tested commercial-grade product, but rather it does demonstrate something I created using Go that is simple enough to look at as an isolated sample, yet still complex enough to involve multiple coroutines, mutexes, database integration, network I/O, a very simple authentication mechanism, etc.
In the man directory are manual page entries for the server and relevant internal routines which provide well-defined supporting functions used by the server. (In the original Python implementation, these functions are part of a library common to several related tools which include the game server and various game clients that connect to it.)
The protocol implemented by the server for communication with its clients is documented in the mapper(6) client manual page, toward the end of that document.
The full GMA manual includes notes on the usage of the server and clients (although this will need to be updated to come into line with innovations introduced by this implementation).
Relevant manual pages (included in the appendices of the full manual) include mapper(6) which describes the network protocol implemented by this server and the Go API modules documented on pkg.go.dev.
Once the project is ready for production use, it will be synchronized with at least the major version number of all compatible modules of GMA. Until then, it will use its own pre-release version number.
