However this tutorial, and the one below simplify the basics of a multiplayer.įirst off, cloud variables need to be created to help with movement and detecting if a player is still active.

There are many ways to make an online multiplayer game. However, a downside is that on some laptop computers, a keyboard may only input a certain number of keys before reaching a maximum and not detecting any newer keys being pressed.
