Multiplayer Gaming Features

Real-time Player Matching

Full support for real-time player matching is included in the Manic API. This includes support for random player matching, friend-matching, and private matching. More Details...

Peer-to-Peer Multiplayer

Players who are matched together using real-time player matching are "joined" together by the Manic API. This process will create peer-to-peer connections between all players, even when players are behind firewalls (firewall hole punching). More Details...

Traffic Relay

For situations where firewall hole punching will not work, the Manic API will automatically fall-back to using Manic provided high-speed and high capacity traffic relay servers for relaying game traffic between players. More Details...

Turn-Based Support - Online and Offline

The Manic API provides extensive support for turn-based play. A real-time (online) turn-based game can transition to offline mode at anytime and offline games can switch back to online as needed. Player matching options for new, offline turn-based games include "public" games (anyone can join), "friend" games (only friends can join), and "private" games (only people who have been invited can join). Turn notifications are generated when players take their turns. Delivery of these notifications is customizable by the players and can include, APNS, email, Manic messaging, and more. More Details...
