Before starting development, my team created a shared UML diagram to plan the structure of the code. As the network programmer, I focused on designing scripts that used PlayFab and Photon for the game. The diagram shows how each script will connect and communicate with the other. 

Scripts

• PlayfabLogin.cs - Handles the user authentication.
• ConnectToServer.cs - Handles connecting the players to the master server.
• LobbyManager.cs - Allows players to join and create rooms.
  • JoinRoomMenu.cs - Handles the UI for joining rooms.
  • CreateRoomMenu.cs - Handles the UI for creating rooms.
    
    • RoomItem.cs - Displays room information, e.g. name, no. of players
    • PlayerItem.cs - Displays player information, e.g. nickname, icons

Next Steps...

After finalising the plan for my code, I can start developing the foundation of the multiplayer system, starting with features that allow players to create and join lobbies to play together.
