——————————
This demo project is the third 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 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 3 documentation website.
