Dear Josh,

#Thank You For The Awesome Online Subsystem!

I currently have implemented my own custom Friends List and chat system!

So I have completely non-Steam looking implementation of the Steam Friends List!

Here’s the core code I deduced from your OSS test files like

**TestSessionInterface**

and the **Test Friends Interface**!

```
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//Get Epic's Generalized Implementation of an Online User's Presence on the Net!
const FOnlineUserPresence& FriendPresence = (*FriendsListPtr)[v]->GetPresence();
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

//Online?
if(FriendPresence.bIsOnline)
{
//...

//Playing This Game?
if(FriendPresence.bIsPlayingThisGame)
{
//...

```

Here’s a picture!

In my game people can simply double click on the names of friends to invite/join their game!

Green = online, faded = offline, and I highlight the friend the cursor is on 🙂

#Steam Wiki tutorial

I also made a Steam wiki tutorial to get people started with the Steam API / dlls etc!
