Summary
iFun Engine is a software framework that helps game developers rapidly build multiplayer game servers for MO/MMO games. Not only does it support all the standard network protocols (i.e. TCP/UDP/HTTP/WebSocket) used in multiplayer games, but it also provides reliable communication channel between the game client and the game server by its auto-reconnecting session layer on top of the protocols. In addition, it so simplifies database accesses that game developers can efficiently access the database in the game server without a single line of SQL query. As a workload (i.e., the number of players) that a game service should sustain increases, iFun Engine enables a game service to scale out simply by running additional game server instances made by iFun Engine. For easy, efficient game service operation, it provides a intuitive dashboard that can oversee what happening in the game service and a player management tool that helps service operators investigate player activities in the service.
