MServer

Mini Distributed Game Server(aka Mserver) is a lightweight game engine. It is designed to be flexible, efficient and easy to use. The engine core is written in C++ for high performance, and the game logic code is implemented in Lua scripts to ensure stability, reduce development costs, Increase development efficiency. The engine provides a lot of components commonly used in game development, such as navigation, pathfinding, database, etc. Developers can focus on game logic development instead of re-implementing these components. The engine is flexible and expandable. It can be deployed as a multi-process to adapt to MMO-type games, and can also be deployed as a single process for small games.

Note

• In latest version, FlatBuffers isn't being tested, may not work properly
• Protobuf library using https://github.com/cloudwu/pbc, some features are NOT the same with Google Protobuf
• using excel to manage config file.https://github.com/changnet/py_exceltools
