Abstract

U ovom radu je obrađena tema stvaranja demonstracijske višekorisničke igre. Objašnjena je važnost takvih igara, te su navedene danas najpopularnije platforme i alati za izradu višekorisničkih igara. Korištenjem Unityja i Photona (PUN 2) stvorena je demonstracijska igra iz koje je stvoren projekt s nepotpunim kôdom.
Igra se sastoji od dvije scene – scene s izbornicima i scene za igru. U sceni s izbornicima odvija se matchmaking tj. spajanje igrača s poslužiteljem, stvaranje novih soba, pregled postojećih soba i pridruživanje u postojeće sobe. Također, iz ove scene (iz sobe) može se započeti igra. U sceni za igru svaki igrač ima svoje „tijelo“ i svoju kameru, te se može slobodno kretati i gađati druge igrače koristeći svoje oružje. Cilj je u određenom vremenu pogoditi što je više protivničkih igrača i izbjeći što više tuđih napada (gađanja). Pri kraju igre tj. pri isteku vremena na ekranima svih igrača prikazuje se ljestvica bodova.
Pomoću potpune verzije projekta, stvorena je nepotpuna verzija i upute sa zadacima. Pomoću uputa i zadataka, koji su namijenjeni učenicima i studentima, moguće je nadopuniti kôd do potpune i funkcionalne verzije. Ova vježba služi za demonstraciju stvaranja umrežene videoigre i sadrži sve najbitnije koncepte umreženosti.

Abstract (english)

This thesis covers the topic of creating a demonstrational multiplayer game. The importance of such games is explained, and the most popular platforms and tools for creating multiplayer games today are listed. Using Unity and Photon (PUN 2), a demonstrational game was created from which a project with incomplete code was created.
The game consists of two scenes - a scene with menus and a scene for the game. In the menu scene, matchmaking takes place, such as connecting players to the server, creating new rooms, listing existing rooms and joining them. Also, from this scene the game can be started. In the game scene, each player has their own "body", their own camera and can move freely and shoot other players using their weapons. The goal is to hit as many enemy players as possible in a given time and be hit the least. At the end of the game, when the timer hits zero, a rank list of scores is shown to each player.
With the full version of the project, an incomplete version and instructions with tasks were made. With the help of instructions and tasks, which are intended for pupils and students, it is possible to fill the code to a complete and functional version. This exercise serves to demonstrate the creation of a networked video game and contains all the most important concepts of networking.
