Unity's Back-end System

-

Overview:

This technical content related to Unity’s Backend System like How unity compile the code? , How unity build code for different platforms?


Step-1: Convert Source code to Engine code



- We are writing the code in c# it’s called source code.

- Always source code converted into engine code through the compilation process.

- First, all the C# scripts compiled into CIL (Common Intermediate Language).




- All c# code is known as source code and CIL code known as Managed Code.

Managed Code: Managed code easily converted into different-different languages and able to prepare engine code.

- C# easily maintain managed code, so that it is also known as Mixed Programming Language.

 

Step-2: Types of Compilation

There are two types of the compilation process for c#,

  • AOT [Ahead Of Time]
  • JIT [Just In Time]

- Both compilation processes are starting compilation process depending on the target hardware like android, ios, play-station, etc.


1) AOT [Ahead Of Time] Compilation:

- Ahead Of Time compilation means compiling application during the build process.

- It’s also known as static compilation.

- All the IOS devices use the AOT compilation process because Ios doesn’t allow dynamic compilation.


2) JIT [Just In Time] Compilation:

- Just In Time compilation means compiling applications when running the application on the device.

- It’s also known as dynamic compilation.

Both the compilation process has its own back and forth, so which one is best it is a debatable topic because of both compilation capable of optimization and build code in a better way.

In Unity we can choose any of the compilation processes as per our requirement.


Step-3: Engine Code

- Compilation process build up engine code and finally, it will run on a device, But…

  •  Complexity Level:

- Unity the engine is not developed in C#, it is developed in C++ like other software.

- So that here C++ engine code needs to communicate with C#’s engine code.

- Managed code integrated with “Manage Run-time”,

            Manage Run-time is a security mechanism before run/compile process and throw an exception if any bug or error in managed code.

 


Step-4: Marshalling

- Managed Run-time code(C#) communicating with Unity Engine code (C++) it’s called Marshalling.


Step-5: Build Process

- After completion of marshalling, it will handle lots of complexity during converting code C# into C++ in backend for all the supported platforms like Android, IOS, Windows, Play-station, and many more.

- Finally engine code build up with security level and bug and exception free and ready to build on the device.

Data Encryption - Decryption [Unity3d - C#]

-
Image
What is Encryption? - In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding information. This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form known as ciphertext. Ideally, only authorized parties can decipher a ciphertext back to plaintext and access the original information. What is Decryption? - The conversion of encrypted data into its original form is called Decryption. It is generally a reverse process of encryption. It decodes the encrypted information so that an authorized user can only decrypt the data because decryption requires a secret key or password. There are many techniques and algorithms for data Encryption and Decryption in Unity(C#). Here Describe 4 most popular algorithms to Encrypt or Decrypt process in C#. 1) AES 2) DES 3) MD5 4) XOR   Download Unity Demo Project:  https://github.com/sudhirkotila/Data-Security-Unity-Encryption-Decryption-Demo 1) AES: - AES – Advanced Encryption S

What is Node.js? Node.js is a JavaScript engine which is built on Chrome’s V8. It is network application for communicates with client and server.It uses event-driven non-blocking I/O model. Node.js’s package ecosystem its called “npm”, which includes open source libraries in the world.Node is specially designed to broadly and scalable network applications for the device/computers. What is Socket Programming? Sockets are the mechanism of communication between two computers or devices using TCP. A client program which is installed in device/computer which creates a socket at the end of the communication when socket connection to a server. When a connection is done, the server creates its own socket object from the server side when an end of the communication.                  Game Architecture between Unity Engine and Server                         Goals : Describe the mechanism of events works with client side and server side.  Unity 3d broadcas

- Attributes are one type of markers in Unity. - Attributes can be placed above a Class, Property or Function in a script, that specially indicate for any special behavior on it. - We can decorate our Classes, Properties or Metadata using attributes. - C# contains attribute names within square brackets. 1) Header: - Header Attribute useful to add Header like a Title above some fields in the Inspector. [Header("Player Data")] public string playerName; public int playerHealth; [Header("Enemy Data")] public string enemyHealth; public int enemyPower; 2 ) Hide InInspector: - This attribute makes a variable not show up in the Inspector but be serialized. [HideInInspector] public string playerName; public int playerHealth; 3 ) Range: - This attribute used to make a float or int variable in a script be restricted to a specific range. - When this attribute is used, the float or int will be shown as a sli
