Imagine a card game where the player sees his cards uncovered and the cards of the other players covered. If the information which cards are covered is in the memory a plugin could uncover the cards. Only the server should now all cards. | |

| Oct 28, 2015 at 13:41 | comment | added | serge | I guess I need to put more logic on the server. I'll accept the answer because I understand there is no standard other then "relevant logic is done and evaluated by the server". I was hoping that there is some kind of generic schema out there(I see that I need to do my own design) | |
| Oct 28, 2015 at 13:24 | comment | added | monty | If all the relevant logic is done and evaluated by the server cheating would only be possible when the cheater has access to (hacking) your server directly. Example: the player manages to send a "do action X" request to the server although it is not the players turn the server can decide to ignore this message/action because the server state machine knows this is an illegal action. Rule of thumb: all relevant logic is done and evaluated by the server. The clients only display the current state and changes delivered by the server. | |
