PLUS a lot easier, all reports and orders in

                ~~~~~~~~~


   With the advent of the first computers were the first 
computer games. First it was the interpretation of known board 
games, where the computer performs a role referee. Over time, 
the computer began to trust more complex roles. Such as the 
formation of game situations, and even the adoption of 
solutions. Appearance of such computer games as Chess, Renju, 
Monopoly, and many others, which along with the players, people 
involved and igrokkompyuter. Over time it became evident that 
of even the most sophisticated program can be predicted. 
Therefore, more and more have some games where, along with 
computer players participated, and several human players, 
competing not only with the program, but also with each other. 
Steel distributed games designed for several people without 
computer players. A new surge of similar games

occurred after the ubiquity of computer networks. Players was 
no longer necessary to crowd in front of one computer, and 
could each play with your own computer. The next spurt carried 
the game, when computers began to unite in a global network. 
Now, one game to play people are many thousands of kilometers 
of each from each other. Such kind of games and treats

Galaxy PLUS. Communication with the players is through a global 
computer network. By their nature, the game does not require 
concurrent players real-time, to play well

enough e-mail system
(Electronic Mail, or simply E-Mail), with a batch mode. Hence 
the the name of such games - Play-By-EMail or

abbreviated PBEM, which means "game
e-mail. "To take part in it
participation is necessary to imagine a mechanism of the e-mail 
servers. It works all the way:



   There is a program (server) is configured to process mail 
that comes to certain electronic address. If you go to send a 
letter composed in a certain way, then it sends response. It is 
a popular idea electronic content.



   Directly on the server PBEM Galaxy
PLUS. This is a server program (see above)
tasked with handling letters from
players. At each of the letters the player server
sends a report on the implementation of teams
contained in a letter to the player. Regularly
precisely set time server makes
moves (see "Process Game").


   That's the simplest concepts
PBEM games.
