Building the server

First you must set the GOPATH to the directory you have downloaded the git repo from.

1. Clone the repo to the folder "C:\Users\Jon\Downloads\GOGameServer"
2. open a command prompt (WIN+R then "cmd" and press ENTER)
3. run the command: "set GOPATH=C:\Users\Jon\Downloads\GOGameServer" (and replace the path with your directory)
4. Go to: "C:\Users\Jon\Downloads\GOGameServer\src\gameserver_server_example"
5. run the command "go install"; this will create the executable in the folder "C:\Users\Jon\Downloads\GOGameServer\bin\"
6. Do the same for the example client: "C:\Users\Jon\Downloads\GOGameServer\src\gameserver_client_example"

Running the example Server

Once there server and client are built open two command prompts and first run the server "gameserver_server_example.exe" and then in the other command prompt run the client gameserver_client_example.exe" the output should be:
