Creating a game server with matchmaking

[Sulp Sulpc]

Hello people,

im trying to program an online game. Each game consists of a "gamelobby" with up to 4 players.

While playing the players need to update their positions and receive the position of the other players.

My concern now is that its not performant to update the positions each frame via the "received" method

because the same method is used for other incoming players to login (for matchmaking).

Is there an appropriate way to do this?

If you are concerned about performance, just don't update positions when
a lobby message arrives.

However, you should probably also think about splitting your code into
three modules: lobby, running game, and common code (the latter would
include one or two Kryonet channels).

Now that's going awfully off topic of this list, which is about Kryonet
itself, not about software design. Kryonet is just a part of the
foundation, you're asking whether one should have one or two front
gates... it is just the wrong audience.
There's plenty of advice about networked game programming to be found
via any search engine.
Good luck.

Regards,
JO

Yes but that would be fatal for an online game. Imagine the server needs to pause the game just because

someone wants to log in. 

I just need to know how i can run many connections concurrently.

Again: This is not the right forum for topics of game server organisation.
