Lockstep Framework

The Lockstep Framework (LSF) is a framework designed for games that need lockstep simulations. It includes a deterministic 2D physics engine, pathfinding, behavior system, and more. LSF is integrated with Unity.

Special thanks to Liv Games (http://www.livgames.com), 360 Studio (http://www.360studio.me), and Thoopid (http://www.thoopid.com/) for supporting the development of Lockstep Framework. Also, thank you GladFox (https://github.com/GladFox) and the community for helping with development.

Created by John Pan (https://github.com/SnpM).

NOTE: LSF is no longer being actively developed. The latest commit targets Unity 2019.1f1.

Features

  • Deterministic math library and simulation
  • Custom 2D physics engine on the X-Z plane
  • Behaviour system for both individual agents and globally
  • Lockstep variables - know when and where desyncs happen
  • Size-based pathfinding (big units won't get stuck in narrow gaps)
  • Customizable database system
  • Support for DarkRift and Photon Networking (Forge Networking support deprecated but let me know if you need it)

Quick Setup

  1. Import the framework into a Unity project and open Lockstep-Framework/Example/ExampleScene
  2. Set up the database and settings by navigating to the Lockstep/Database window or pressing Control - Shift - L.
  3. In the Settings foldout of the database window, click Load and navigate to Lockstep-Framework/Example/ExampleDatabase/Example_Database.asset to load the preconfigured database for the example.
  4. Play!

Note: The example only shows the basic functionality of the framework. Comprehensive examples will be added close to the end of core development.
