server-tick

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenges of creating fair and responsive multiplayer online games by implementing a server-authoritative tick system that prevents cheating and compensates for network latency.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Server-Authoritative Movement: Ensures game state is controlled by the server, preventing client-side manipulation like speed hacks or teleports.
• Lag Compensation: Accurately detects hits by rewinding target positions to the time of the shot, making gameplay fair for players with high latency.
• Deterministic Physics: Maintains consistent game physics across all clients by using a fixed tick rate.
• Use Case: In a fast-paced online shooter, this skill ensures that a player's shot registers correctly even if the target has moved due to lag, and prevents players from moving faster than allowed by the game's rules.

Quick Start

Use the server-tick skill to create a new game instance named 'match-123' for players 'player-1' and 'player-2'.
