Need help learning the architecture of rAthena

[piaoasd123]

Hi all-

 

I just joined this community because I am interested in learning how to program mmog servers.

I've been a big fan of RO eversince its beta release, and I think studying rAthena would be a great way

to learn mmog server architecture, programming techniques, and etc.

 

I have some 2d game programming experience in c++, and I think my basic understanding of c/c++ and programming in general

is enough to start learning about the server side. However after trying to look through the code of rAthena,

the shear amount of code made me a bit lost...

I greatly appreciate any advice/suggestion you might have for a beginner of server programming like me. Many thanks!

First, read doc/source_doc.txt for a general introduction. We also have Doxygen set up, and our developers are continuing to improve the documentation of rAthena's source code.

Thank you so much! The source_doc.txt really helped!
