        <h1>KBEngine</h1>
		<p class="byline">KBEngine is an open-source MMOG server engine. 
		Clients can communicate with the server through a simple protocol.
		KBEngine plugins can be quickly combined with (Unity3D, OGRE, Cocos2d-x, HTML5, 
		etc.) technology to form a complete game client. The server-side low-level 
		framework is written in C++, and the game logic layer uses Python (supports hot-fixing).
		Developers do not need to repeatedly implement the underlying 
		technologies common to some game servers, and instead can focus their efforts 
		on the game development level, to quickly build various multiplayer games.</p>
