The Butterfly Grid is a multilayered architecture that provides a platform-independent window into a massively multiplayer world. For gamers, it means an unlimited number of varied devices can seamlessly connect to one world. For developers, it offers an easy-to-use API and toolset for integration with a game engine. Official Butterfly.net Game Developer’s Guide details how to implement the Butterfly Grid in existing and new game projects to minimize the complexity of network programming, allowing the game developer to concentrate on game design and programming, and culminates in the development of a massively multiplayer game prototype.
