    how does a game server comunicte with pc.

    Hi i'm not sure if i'm in the right section to ask these questions. but i'm having a programmer help set me up a web site which i want to be able to link straight to game servers , and he has asked me a couple of questions i'm not sure of.
    1. Is there any API provided by the game vendors which is used by the server to remotely control the game?
    2. we need some technical help to understand the actual communication between the game running on local system and the game server.
    3. how will the game server control the game
    i would appreciate if you could help me in this matter (the servers we want to use are counter strike and call of duty)
    many thanks
    jon

    Hello,

    The main thing's that make a game communicate between the host and the user is.

    Packet's/Bye's For instance when you click a button. you have a packet that use's so that the action can be sent to the server.

    I would suggest having a look @ steam provide quite easy game-hosting with them.

    You should be able to control the Counter Strike server through the RCON protocol:

    Steam may be the easy way out, they have earned their reputation.
