So, the only solution (or correct way to do it ?) is to let a bot handle the game mechanics ?
I mean, when a user perform a game action, the client should send the server a <message...> to the game bot JID, which I have to program in a script language ? In that case, the bot may process the game state, store it in a database, send messages to the other players, etc... ? In fact, I've seen a JEP example here (about chess) : http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/chess.html and I thought that the server was directly handling <chess:rules> or <chess:piece> tags. If this is possible, is it the right way to do it, and how do we program a Jabber server ?
