A lobby is a staging area which players access before joining the actual game. In a lobby, users can usually customize their profile, chat with friends, search for a game to join or launch a new game, invite friends to play and more.This project expands the previous ones by adding a match-making system, to help users find the right Game Room to join based on their skill, and invitations, to let friends meet and play with each other.For more information, check our in-depth tutorial on the SmartFoxServer 2X documentation website.Asset uses licensed font(s); see Third-Party Notices.txt file in package for details.Main SmartFoxServer features:High performance network engineBinary protocol with dynamic compressionSecure encrypted login systemUDP supportHRC system for transparent reconnection of unstable clientsBlueBox add-on for firewall and proxy traversalSend and receive complex data objectsInternal event dispatching systemUser profiles and permissions systemGame spectatorsPublic and private chat messagingServer-side variablesFlooding filter with auto-kick / auto-ban functionsIP filteringCustomizable bad words filter with auto-kick / auto-ban functionsAdministrator messagesModerator support (kick / ban)Advanced security settings per applicationRoom creation capabilities with user auto-matchAdvanced Room features (renaming, locking, resizing, etc)Game API for match-makingAdvanced Buddy List system with black-list, permissions, offline buddy variables, etc.Invitations and challenges systemSpecial MMO API for "Area of Interest"-based users proximity notificationServer-side Extensions (Java / JavaScript)Web-based administration toolEmbedded web serverDirect database connectivity, allows connections to all major RDBMSAnalytics module for business statisticsSupported platforms:All platforms supported by UnitySupported OS:WindowsLinux/UnixmacOS (10.8+)Documentation:http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/
