Hey, guys, sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong thread but I've been wanting to ask this questions for a while and the forums we locked so imma get it out of the way.
I'm building a 4 player multiplayer game on android(or at least that's what I WANT) but I have no idea how to set a server for people to play the game, right now I'm having no problems running multiple clients connected to the server but they are all inside my computer so there are no different IPs getting into the game. My question is, though, can it be done? Do I have to set a server for everyone who's going to play to connect to, or can I connect the clients directly?(I read that that can be done but I'd like to know all my alternatives before I fully commit to this plan) If I have to make a server for people to connect, how would I go about doing that?(Instead of using my own computer to keep the server) How do I have multiple servers so other people can play and have multiple groups of 4 players playing individual game matches?
I'm sorry if the questions are stupid/obvious but I'm new to this whole networking thing and I'm not the type of person to be above asking stupid questions if it means that I learn something new.
