#Introducing Unicorn Battle This repository is the home of Unicorn Battle (UB), PlayFab's open-source, end-to-end demo project. UB is a complete game sporting dynamic gameplay, driven by PlayFab's back-end technology, showcasing how to build modern live-game systems.

  • CDN-hosted AssetBundles - Dynamically stream content to clients for new sales and events
  • Cloud-hosted Logic - Cloud Script methods that call a variety of protected APIs
  • Community Forums - with API access to your game; built by our partners over at [Innervate](https://playfab.com/marketplace/innervate/"A turn-key community solution that comes out-of-the-box integrated with PlayFab")

##Configuration and Setup ###Prerequisites: This is an advanced example and can be quite dense at times due to the many sub-systems.

  • You should be very familiar with Unity3d & UUI
  • Have a basic understanding of the PlayFab API
  • Be comfortable working with JSON-to-C# serialization & deserialization

####Back-end Setup: The Unicorn Battle data is distributed across many cloud-based technologies.

We built this handy tool to clone the Unicorn Battle back-end to a PlayFab title of your choosing.

After running, if no errors were reported, then you are ready to move on to the client setup.

See the Back-end guide for additional details.

####Client Setup: The Unicorn Battle Client was built with iOS and Android targets using Unity3d 5.3.4f. Testing within the Unity editor, on web or desktop works, but not all features are available. This game was designed to be viewed in 16:9 aspect ratio, but most common ratios should display reasonably well.

Prior to running Unicorn Battle you will need to set your TitleId in GlobalStrings.cs. This is the same value you used when setting up the back-end.

At this point you should be at a point where you can build and test the game locally.

See the Client Guide for additional details.

##Troubleshooting: For a complete list of available APIs, check out the online documentation.
