// Gatcha Multiplayer example for AS 3.0 with SmartFox
//

//
// About this example
//

This is a basic remake of the classic arcade Pong but 
for multiple players (2). It shows the basic GameEvents 
that need to be dispatched in order to start a multiplayer 
game on Gatcha. You control the lower paddle with your left 
and right keys. Bounce the ball back and forward until you 
or the opponent misses 10 times.

Remember that this game serves as a basic example. It has 
4 classes:
 1. Main.as - This is the main entry point to the game and 
    is launched from the fla root. 
 2. Title.as - This is a title screen showing the game title 
    and a start button. 
 3. Game.as - This holds the game logic. 
 4. SmartFoxManager.as - This holds logic for connecting and 
    managing SmartFox
