Network Solutions Breakdown

The motion canvas source code can be found here!

The content in this video is worth watching. It gives a comprehensive overview of the different network solutions that were used in Rogue Royale and how my own custom architecture progressed.

I found driving animations and creating images entirely through code to be very intuitive. This was especially useful when trying positions of objects to a frame number when demonstrating how different clients see each other in different network solutions.

I also found this form of programming interesting because it was very top down. I’m not quite as comfortable with TypeScript as python or C++, and since everything is happening sequentially through the animation, I defaulted to a top down programming pattern instead of abstracting some of the different sections into their own functions. This did lead to some abnormally long scripts.
