Book Description
Learn the fundamentals of networking with Unity and C#. This book covers a variety of topics,including accessing data using RESTful APIs,local networked games,and creating multiplayer online games using client-server architecture.
The book provides the basics of networking,sockets,TCP vs. UDP,client-server architecture,serialization,RESTful APIs,network latency,and client-side prediction. Projects are presented to illustrate the concepts,including a chat client/server overlay for your game,and a 3D maze game that allows up to four players to connect over the network.
By the end of the book,you will be familiar with low-level networking concepts such as protocols and architecture as well as high-level knowledge on how to create applications that use a client/server architecture for multiplayer games.
