A Multiplayer Framework is a set of tools and protocols that enable multiple players to interact in a shared digital environment, often seen in video games. It provides the necessary infrastructure for real-time communication, synchronization of game states, and management of player interactions, ensuring a smooth gaming experience. These frameworks can support various game types, from competitive shooters to cooperative adventures. They often include features like matchmaking, player authentication, and server management, allowing developers to focus on gameplay rather than the complexities of networking. Popular examples include Photon, Unity's Multiplayer, and Epic's Online Services.
