Multiplayer Marble Game – Collaborative Unity Project

Play Now

Check back every Monday for updates

Welcome to our all-new collaborative project. We tried to do a joint project with our subscribers before. However, the scope of the project was a bit too much. While I will return to that project sometime in the future we have a new project that will be much easier to complete.

There are countless ball games out there on the game markets but nothing like what we want to create. I want to create a multiplayer race game that has a variety of levels created by the players. I want to collaborate with all of you to create something everyone can enjoy.

In order to participate in this project, you will need to become a supporter on our website. As a supporter, you will receive exclusive free access to our Marble Level Builder Packager. This package will help you to create the levels for this game. The package includes basic Platforms that have a simple drag and drop design flow. We have also included moving, ghost, and launch platforms in this package.

  2. You must be a supporter to participate in this project
    • This will give you access you our exclusive Marble Level Builder package in addition to all other supporter perks

Network – Cross Platform Native Plugins: Essential Kit

Download

Documentation: https://assetstore.essentialkit.voxelbusters.com/

0:00 Welcome to Network and Web View CPNP2
0:16 Overview
0:36 Setup
1:08 Usage

For this lesson on how to use the Cross Platform Native Plugins in Unity, I will show you how to use the Network and Web View services. The Networking service makes it so you can check to see if the user’s device has a connection to the internet. You are then able to block the user from accessing parts of your game if they don’t have a network connection.

IG_NetworkServices.cs

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using VoxelBusters.EssentialKit;

public class IG_NetworkServices : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static IG_NetworkServices instance;

    public bool isInternetActive;
    public bool isHostReachable;
    public bool isNotifierActive;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        // register for events
        NetworkServices.OnHostReachabilityChange += OnHostReachabilityChange;
        NetworkServices.OnInternetConnectivityChange += OnInternetConnectivityChange;
        NetworkServices.StopNotifier();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        // unregister from events
        NetworkServices.OnHostReachabilityChange -= OnHostReachabilityChange;
        NetworkServices.OnInternetConnectivityChange -= OnInternetConnectivityChange;
    }

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        instance = this;
    }

    private void OnInternetConnectivityChange(NetworkServicesInternetConnectivityStatusChangeResult result)
    {
        Debug.Log("Received internet connectivity changed event.");
        Debug.Log("Internet connectivity status: " + result.IsConnected);
        isInternetActive = NetworkServices.IsInternetActive;
    }

    private void OnHostReachabilityChange(NetworkServicesHostReachabilityStatusChangeResult result)
    {
        Debug.Log("Received host reachability changed event.");
        Debug.Log("Host reachability status: " + result.IsReachable);
        isHostReachable = NetworkServices.IsHostReachable;
    }

    //IG_NetworkServices.instance.CheckNetwork();
    public void CheckNetwork()
    {
        NetworkServices.StartNotifier();
    }

    //IG_NetworkServices.instance.StopStatus();
    public void StopStatus()
    {
        NetworkServices.StopNotifier();
    }

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        instance = this;
    }

    //IG_AddressBookService.instance.ReadContacts();
    public void ReadContacts()
    {
        status = AddressBook.GetContactsAccessStatus();
        if (status == AddressBookContactsAccessStatus.NotDetermined)
        {

    {
        if (error == null)
        {
            allContacts = result.Contacts;

            var contacts = result.Contacts;
            Debug.Log("Request to read contacts finished successfully.");
            Debug.Log("Total contacts fetched: " + contacts.Length);
            Debug.Log("Below are the contact details (capped to first 10 results only):");
            for (int iter = 0; iter < contacts.Length && iter < 10; iter++)
            {
                Debug.Log(string.Format("[{0}]: {1}", iter, contacts[iter]));
            }
        }

        {
            Debug.Log("Request to read contacts failed with error. Error: " + error);
        }
    }
