Photon offers SDKs which include libraries for various platforms - such as Unity, iOS, Android, Windows, Windows Phone, Corona, Marmelade, Cocos2d-x and more -, code samples and documentation. Since all libraries connect to the same backend using the same commands and logics, cross-platform interactivity is possible, i.e., communication between different variants of an application running on various platforms (e.g. iOS vs. Browser vs. Android). It is recommended to start with the (Photon Cloud ). In case custom server code is really needed it is easy to switch to (Photon Server ) later as the Client SDK of both product share the same API. Main benefits Photon Cloud: * Cross-Platform Capabilities: Client SDKs for all major gaming platform * Global Low Latency: Photon Cloud is deployed in hosting centers across the U.S., Europe, and Asia (Singapore, Japan, and soon in South Korea). Based on this footprint, Photon Cloud’s infrastructure allows developers to launch real-time games on a global scale without any server hassle * Real-Time: Photon Cloud’s communication protocols are streamlined and the service’s core is based on C/C++ to allow the fastest round-trip times for your multiplayer apps in conjunction with the global hosting centers * Automatic Scalability: Photon Cloud scales automatically with the actual game’s load, supporting tens of thousands of users.Matchmaking API: Match players randomly or by specific filters — or create a list of open rooms and let players pick one. It works, simply and quickly * FREE Plan: Photon Cloud is completely free for up to 20 concurrent users (CCU) per app, and you can have as many apps as you like. If you need to support more players, you can upgrade to a paid plan or downgrade to a free plan at any time. Paid plans with “CCU burst" allow to exceed your CCU limit and optionally upgrade later without losing any users 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Exit Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
