The i3D ONE Game Hosting platform is dynamic scaling and deployment service for game servers. This SDK facilitates communication between game servers and the hosting platform using our Arcus component. An Arcus server is hosted on the game server and the Hosting Platform connects to the game server using an Agent.
Additionally the SDK offers a Ping client library that can be run on client game to assist in matchmaking.
Finally the SDK offers accompanying SDK tools and documentation for testing, integration and development.
The documentation included with this SDK covers all practical requirements to integrate the platform into a game. The complete documentation for i3D ONE Game Hosting is available on the i3D.net website.
Documentation and integration guides for the individual parts of the sdk can found in their respective folders, as listed in the SDK overview below.
Instructions on how to build and test the complete SDK are also provided:
- build guide windows explains how to build and test the repository on windows.
- build guide linux explains how to build and test the repository on linux systems.
