Abstract

Umrežene višekorisničke igre su posebne vrsta umreženih virtualnih okruženja koje omogućavaju fizički udaljenim korisnicima da na različitim uređajima uspostave interakciju u zajedničkom virtualnom svijetu.
U ovom radu, proučene su i opisane osnovne tehnike ubrzavanja upravljanja takvim sustavima. Ti sustavi mogu istovremeno podržavati velike brojeve korisnika i obično imaju problema sa skalabilnošću. Također su i osjetljivi na karakteristike same mreže poput kašnjenja i gubitka paketa.
U konačnici, pomoću alata Unity i PUN (Photon Unity Networking) uspješno je izrađen demonstracijski primjer gdje su prikazane neke od proučenih tehnika. Implementirane su tehnike poput strukturiranja virtualnog svijeta, filtriranja mrežnog prometa, interpolacije i mrtve procjene.

Abstract (english)

Online multiplayer games are special type of networked virtual environments that allow physically remote users to interact on different devices in a shared virtual world.
In this paper, basic techniques for accelerating the management of such systems are studied and described. Those systems can have large number of concurrent users and they usually have problems with scalability. They also suffer from many problems caused by latency and packet loss in network.
Ultimately, the demonstrative example was built using the tools Unity and PUN (Photon Unity Networking) that shows some of studied techniques like world division, network culling, interpolation and dead reckoning.
