## What it is
NoahGameFrame (NF) is a fast, scalable, distributed game server engine and plugin framework written in C++, featuring an actor model, network library, and event/attribute-driven architecture. It supports C#/Lua scripting and clients built with Unity3D and Cocos2dx, and is suited for real-time multiplayer games like MMO RPGs and MOBAs.

## Use cases
- build a distributed game server for an MMORPG
- create a real-time multiplayer MOBA backend
- develop a scalable game server with an actor model in C++
- integrate a C++ game server with a Unity3D client
- script game logic in Lua on a C++ server engine
- set up TCP or HTTP servers for a game backend
- implement load balancing and scaling for game servers

## When to choose
- you need a proven, open-source distributed game server framework in C++
- you are building an MMO RPG, MOBA, or other real-time multiplayer game
- you want a plugin-based, event-driven server architecture with actor-model concurrency
- your team uses Unity3D or Cocos2dx clients with C#/Lua scripting

## When to avoid
- you need a fully maintained project with active development and recent releases
- you are building a simple single-player or small-scale game that doesn't need a distributed server
- you prefer a framework with Unreal Engine support, which is only planned, not implemented
- you need a general-purpose application server rather than a game-specific engine
