A client is any program that can connect to a server.

There are a mish-mash of clients and servers, here is a list with clients on the left and servers on the right:

  • game client/bot -> game server
  • game server -> billing server
  • directory client/game client/game server -> directory server

Game client

The first widely used client was SubSpace, which was cloned by PriitK into Continuum. Other clients include Snrrrubspace.

Game server

ASSS and subgame can both connect to the legacy biller. ASSS also has the capability to connect to user DB's that implement the TCP biller protocol.

Directory client

The more popular game clients and servers implement their respective portion of the directory server protocol.
