dcsim-prototype
small datacenter simulation prototype
current "gameplay":
- place devices (uplink, router, switch, server)
- start connecting devices by clicking on ports (clicking while drawing a connection will place an addition control point)
- earn money by connecting servers to uplinks (via switches and routers ideally)
- press mouse wheel button and drag mouse to move view
- press play button to start simulation

Hey, is there any documentation about this game? It's nice, but still don't figured out some mechanics of the game:
Why do the servers have 2 ports? What are the differences between switches and routers in the game (or other: Are the switches Layer2 (can't be in WAN-Router-Switch-Switch-Server config) or Layer3 (can be in WAN-Router-Switch-Switch-Server config))?
Also: Is this the right place to ask questions?
First thanks for playing my game! Unfortunately there aren't more mechanics than visible in game. The plan for 2-port servers was to have some failover option in case of internet outages (not implemented). Also except for price there's no difference between routers and switches. Layer2/Layer3 split was something I thought about a lot but I was always torn between making a simple and easy to understand game or a proper network simulation game.
ok this answers my question not completely. Can we stack switches or not? 🙈
Well yes? Like stacking is not an extra feature but just connect them in a ring and then you have the functional equivalent of a stack
