This demo project is the first one in a series of three in which you will learn how to lay the foundations for a lobby application to be used as a template in multiplayer game development. 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 first project in the series implements the basic structure of a multiplayer game, divided into three scenes: Login, Lobby and Game. The Login scene is where the connection to SmartFoxServer is established and login performed. The Lobby scene is the core of the example, where active games can be joined as either player or spectator, or a new game can be launched. Finally, the Game scene acts as a placeholder for an actual game, but it also shows how to implement an in-game chat.
