Replica Software and Ideaworks Labs join forces to provide multi-platform network connectivity

London, UK 20 April 2011
Replica Software, the developer of ReplicaNet and RNLobby network middleware, and Ideaworks Labs, developers of the Marmalade SDK, have announced a partnership to allow developers to expand access to online multiplayer games across multiple platforms.

"We are excited to see what developers can do with this extra online functionality. The multi-platform features of ReplicaNet are an excellent fit with our own development model" commented Tim Closs CTO, Ideaworks Labs Ltd.

"Being integrated with Marmalade SDK means developers of online games have even more options for connecting their players" said Martin Piper owner of Replica Software. "A vibrant multi-player, multi-platform experience is a proposition that is very exciting for us so it made perfect sense to team up with Ideaworks Labs."

Using ReplicaNet each C++ class is treated as a potential network shareable object. The underlying ReplicaNet software detects changes in the object and automatically updates the replicated classes on the machines connected to the network session. Any changes made to the member variables of the C++ classes can be extrapolated by ReplicaNet using several pre-defined filters to reduce the amount of network traffic when transmitting changes in the object. With RNLobby developers can use online user accounts with persistent data storage for statistics and ranking, discover or advertise networks session, license key verification and NAT punch through.

With Marmalade SDK offering a complete native C++ development experience the same code can be used to connect players from different platforms. This means developers can concentrate on producing their software instead of worrying about differing network APIs and standards.
