AppWarp S2 Features
AppWarp S2 comes with many ready made backend features and APIs to support features like matchmaking, rooms, lobbies etc. out of the box!
Real-time over TCP, UDP and Websocket
The client and server communicate over a custom binary protocol to seamlessly exchange messages directly over transport layer sockets. This allows for real-time communication. All communication is done over TCP and support is also available to exchange game play data over UDP. The HTML5 Javascript SDK communicates over Websockets with the server.
