Answer 1

Hi,

"AppWarp" is used for playing a realtime mutiplayer game between two remote users.This product take care of communication between two users,session management,room management etc.So if you want develop Realtime Turnbased game you can use this product.

"App42" has a set of APIs which includes (leaderboard, push notifications,storage etc).

As per your requirement you have to use both the products.But please note that both products are not related to each other in terms of user management,Treat both the products differently.

You have to include both dlls (App42_ANDROID_SDK for App42 and  AppWarp_Android_SDK_JAR for AppWarp)

 

Answer 2

AppWarp is multi-player platform which works as messaging engine for sending message over TCP/UDP protocol between your app users. This has inbuilt logic of match making and chatting between users.

 

App42 platform is backend server which provides ready made backend services like user management/storage /leader board/ push notification etc. 

 

You have to use both the jars in your case as your requirements are real time match making as well as backend needs like user/reward /leaderboard. Both jars can be used together without any conflict.

 

Let me know if it makes sense.
