Does this skill help prevent cheating?

It emphasizes authoritative server architectures, which ensure the server validates all client actions to prevent common multiplayer exploits.

How does it manage game state across different players?

The skill utilizes Network Variables for automatic state replication and Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) for triggered events to keep all clients in sync.

Which Unity networking frameworks are supported?

This skill supports the most popular Unity networking frameworks, including Unity Netcode for GameObjects, Mirror, and Photon (PUN/Fusion).

Can it help with lag compensation and latency?

Yes, it provides specific implementation patterns for client-side prediction, interpolation, and other techniques to handle network latency gracefully.

Is this suitable for mobile multiplayer games?

Absolutely. It includes best practices for bandwidth optimization and delta compression, which are critical for maintaining performance on mobile networks.
