=== Gideros Unite Framework ===
 
−
Gideros Unite framework provides a way to implement Multiplayer games. It uses LuaSocket to establish socket connections and even create server/client instances.
 
−
 
−
It provides the means of device discovery in Local Area Network, and allows to call methods of other devices through network.
 
−
 
−
About protocols, it is possible to use tcp, udp or both (by binding some method to tcp, if reliability is needed, and others to udp for faster data processing).
 
−
 
−
Package contains Unite.lua and example Gideros application project - DrawTogether app.

−
Some demo code:
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
 
−
-- we can get all devices that are connected to our network
 
−
local devices = {}
 
−
serverlink:addEventListener("device", function(e)
 
−
print(e.data.id, e.data.ip, e.data.host)
 
−
devices[e.data.id] = {}
 
−
devices[e.data.id].ip = e.data.ip
 
−
devices[e.data.id].name = e.data.host
 
−
end)
 
−
 
−
serverlink:getDevices()
 
−
 
−
-- add some methods, that could be called by other clients or server through network

-- draw something

serverlink:addMethod("draw", self.drawLine, self)

serverlink:addMethod("end", self.stopDrawing, self)
 
−
-- clear drawing
 
−
serverlink:addMethod("clear", self.reset, self)

−
-- then you can call this methods when needed
 
−
serverlink:callMethod("clear")

serverlink:callMethod("draw", someX, someY)

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).
