Multi-player gaming is becoming one of the hottest necessitates for gaming these days. Just about every new game being developed is expected to have some level of multi-player gaming capability. In this book we cover all the basics behind multi-player gaming. I'll introduce you to various networking concepts such as peer to peer, authoritative, and hybrid networking engines. We'll then proceed to build a sample game, with step-by-step details. I try and provide details about what we're doing each step of the way, while also keeping the ideas simple and straightforward. We aren't taking a sophisticated game and modifying it for multi-player. Instead we start from the ground level and build a clean, simple, purpose built game using the Unity3D game engine to present the concepts in simple to understand examples with a finished working prototype when we're done.
