## Mirror Networking
|
|
The **#1** free **open source** game networking library for **Unity 2019 / 2020 / 2021**.
|
|
|
|
Used **in production** by major hits like [**Population: ONE**](https://www.populationonevr.com/) and many [more](#made-with-mirror).
|
|
|
|
Originally based on [**UNET**](https://blog.unity.com/technology/announcing-unet-new-unity-multiplayer-technology): battle tested **since 2014** for 9 years and counting!
|
|
|
|
Mirror is **[stable](https://mirror-networking.gitbook.io/docs/general/tests)**, [**modular**](#low-level-transports) & **[easy to use](https://mirror-networking.gitbook.io/)** for all types of games, even small [MMORPGs](#made-with-mirror) 🎮.
|
|
|
|
**Made in 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇬🇧🇸🇬🇹🇼 with ❤️**.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
The **Server & Client** are **ONE project** in order to achieve maximum productivity.
|
|
|
|
Simply use **NetworkBehaviour** instead of **MonoBehaviour**.
|
|
|
|
Making multiplayer games this way is fun & easy:
|
|
|
|
```cs
|
|
public class Player : NetworkBehaviour
|
|
{
|
|
// synced automatically
|
|
[SyncVar] public int health = 100;
|
|
|
|
// lists, dictionaries, sets too
|
|
SyncList<Item> inventory = new SyncList<Item>();
|
|
|
|
// server/client-only code
|
|
[Server] void LevelUp() {}
|
|
[Client] void Animate() {}
|
|
|
|
void Update()
|
|
{
|
|
// isServer/isClient for runtime checks
|
|
if (isServer) Heal();
|
|
if (isClient) Move();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// zero overhead remote calls
|
|
[Command] void CmdUseItem(int slot) {} // client to server
|
|
[Rpc] void RpcRespawn() {} // server to all clients
|
|
[TargetRpc] void Hello() {} // server to one client
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There's also **NetworkServer** & **NetworkClient**. And that's about it 🤩.
|
|
