+# Game Server Configuration (`game.ini`)
+
+The game server (`script/game_serve.py`) supports configuration via a `game.ini` file placed in the same directory as the script. This allows you to customize network and node settings without modifying the Python code.
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. **Create a `game.ini` file** in the `script/` directory (next to `game_serve.py`).
+
+If `game.ini` is not present, the server will use built-in default values.
