GFS Server was born in January 2008 as a side project. I wanted to create a socket server for Flash and Flex clients in a minimal amount of time. Using existing projects like Apache Mina (and others) I was able to essentially glue together a socket server that worked well originally based off of the Apache Mina sample code.

With GFS Server you can host multi-player chat rooms and games easily.

Keep in mind this was a project born in my spare time and written to be up and running in very little time. There are many sharp edges and best practices that can and should be incorporated into the code base as time permits. In general, the code probably needs a lot of tender loving care. I've been asked by more than one person to open source this - so here it is.

This project uses several open source code from several different developers. Unless otherwise specified the GFS Server code is licensed under the GPL 2.
