Hello all
If you remember by previous posts here i showed how to develop simple cross platform game .
Now i like to show you how to develop super simple real time multiplayer card game , which is also cross platform 
Using only free open source tools . which every one can efford.

For the server stack im using Java Netty , it is light,fast,Asynchronous network server.
the java code im using is NOT doing the 9 layers of abstractions it is simple almost procedural programming.
For the networking protocol im using web sockets 
For the client side game im using Cocos2d-x the HTML5 version , and the Javascript API for desktop and iOS.
