okay bestie, gather round, because this is the lordsawar-game-list-server page from section 6 (Games) of the manual, and it's literally the matchmaker of the LordsAWar! world 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lordsawar-game-list-server [OPTION...]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. The LordsAWar! game list server is the one keeping track of which networked games are available for other people to join. That's it, that's the job. This is the way lordsawar games get advertised so that other players can actually find them — no cap, without this server your game is just sitting there in the void with main character energy and zero audience 😭

And how do you talk to it? You use the command-line tool lordsawar-game-list-client to send commands to this server. That's the whole group chat: server hosts the vibe, client sends the messages 💅

Here's the options, bestie, all of them, no skipping:

• -f, --foreground — do not detach from the controlling terminal. It just stays right there with you, holding your hand 🫶
• -p, --port NUMBER — start the list server on the given port. You pick the number, it lives there ✨
• -?, --help — give this help list. Iconic. Classic. We love a self-aware flag 💖

lowkey important: when a --port is not specified, the server just starts on port 18998. That's the default. Remember it, it's giving house number 🏠

🎀 FILES 🎀

• ~/.lordsawarrc — the configuration file. The settings, the lore, the whole personality ✨
• ~/.lordsawar/recently-advertised.xml — the data file representing the list of games that the server is serving. Basically the receipts of every game currently being advertised 📋
