    Hello every one.
    I am trying to build a game and place the complete game on a server. It will be a multiplayer game but I have no idea how to start.

    What I want to achieve is a server like Facebook games where games are available on server of Facebook users just login in Facebook and play games.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you sir for your reply but do I have to purchase it first? Or is there a free version available.
    Also if there is no free version please suggest an alternative. Is there any other way?

    Yes you can get SmartFox for free from their website. It has a free 100 ccu license: www.smartfoxserver.com
    They also have lots of examples to get started at their doc website: docs2x.smartfoxserver.com

    Thank you for your quick reply but let me add some more information to it.
    My game will be for mobile devices.
    I want to build server through unity (I dont want to use flash and all that.)
    Can you guide me about it. From where I can start that.
    I am studying smart fox from 2 days now but no luck.
    Thanks in advance

    I think I can clarify a little. SmartFoxServer IS the server, in an "authoritative server" setup. You can then write your client in Unity, make it comunicate with the server and let the server relay your messages/actions/etc to other clients as needed.
    I strongly recommend to check our examples, which start from a simple connection to the server, up to a full realtime game: http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/ExamplesUnity/introduction
