How to Create a Photon Server

Photon is a multiplayer backend service by Exit Games. To create your own Photon server and get App IDs:

1. Create an account on the Photon Engine Dashboard.
2. Create a new application:
   • Choose the Photon product (Realtime & Voice).
   • Give it a name and select the region.
3. Copy your App IDs:
   • After creation, your AppIdRealtime and AppIdVoice will be shown in the dashboard.
4. Use these App IDs in PhotonRedirector.txt to connect your game to this Photon server.
