Multiplayer

There are three ways to implement multiplayer games:

  • Server Mode: Dedicated server with public IP
  • Host Mode: One player is the host, all other players connect to him
  • Shared Mode: Cloud Room has StateAuthority

Server Mode and Shared Mode can be daunting and won't be covered here.

Host Mode

Host Mode is the easiest way to get started with multiplayer games. In order to implement it in Gideros, we will use the Gideros Unite Framework written by Arturs Sosins (@ar2rsawseen).
