pixelpusher (server)

You can host your own server by running pixelpusher-server. It listens on port 30303 using both TCP and UDP, so you will need to open this port in your firewalls. You may also need to configure port-forwarding on your router.

To connect the client to a server running on the same computer, use the "localhost" IP address:

• 127.0.0.1

Bandwidth requirements

• For a game of 16 players under ideal network conditions, the server requires about 200 KB/s up and 100 KB/s down
  • To serve players with poor connections, the server may use up to 3x the upload bandwidth to resend dropped packets
• A game with 2x the players uses 4x the upload bandwidth and 2x the download bandwidth.
