Simple way for online multiplayer?
People highly demand online multiplayer for our game, Orions: Legend of Wizards. I personally have no experience in making such things, so I wonder, what's the best simple way? The easier for me is the better. I have no knowledge of web programming, and PHP, perl, java are closed books for me. And I'd prefer not to start learning them.
I need some pretty basic features - a simple interface to enumerate users, keep some stats and transfer packets from one user to another, because they are most likely behind NAT.
What would you recommend?
I have now two vague ideas - getting use of html somehow, or using a CGI script, which can be C++ app (so I won't need to learn perl, but will I need to learn linux?).
PS: Also, this should work on shared hosting, I'm not ready to hire dedicated server for $100-200/month.
