Preparing the environment for WebSocket Server in Node.js

At Edge Experience Hackathon, I had to write client and server-side code in Node.js for our game. I wasn’t pleased with the quality of code there, so I decided to rewrite it and show you how to implement WebSocket communication between server and Unity client.

A little disclaimer. I’m working on Mac, and I have a Terminal, so if you are on a Windows machine, you might have to use CMD, but I’m not promising that Terminal commands will stay the same for you.

This post also starts the series on Client-Server communication based on WebSockets. If you want to follow this series, make sure to join my newsletter!

Simple Volume Control System

Audio is a crucial part of the process of making a game, but do you know how to use Audio Mixer to control the volume of your game?

What is cool about the Audio system in Unity is that you can assign Audio Sources to the Audio Mixer Groups.

This is pretty handy especially as you don’t have to all Audio Sources on the scene to change the volume.

Using Unity Asset Packages

Often, when we are looking for packages of assets or solutions, they are packed into Asset Package. But maybe it is time to ask how to make your own package?

When you created something cool what is worth sharing, you want to find a way to do it. Of course, you can throw all the things into a ZIP file, but maybe there is a better way?

Expand Reality Around You

From time to time, I have an opportunity to speak about making games or experiences. This time I wanted to talk about Augmented Reality – AR in short.

AR always was present in my career. Sometimes it was a simple project that I had to build over a few days, some other times AR was the core of a business where I worked.

But I never thought more in-depth about that technology. Until I had to prepare for the presentation “Expand Reality Around You“.
