How can I add 'play with your friend' feature?

Question

Hi! I am making a real time turn based game using appwarp and Unity.

Currently the game connects with a randomly online user and starts the gameplay.

I would like to add a feature to play with a facebook friend. How can i do that?

Hi,

 

You can achieve this behaviour by utilising the properties feature of rooms. You can assign some property to represent that a particular room is a private room and players should not join it when competing with a random user. You will need to use Facebook SDK to invite him/her if he/she is not online in the game. Later when he/she arrives, you can make them join the same room where invitee is present.

 

We have a blog post on how to achieve the same. Please have a look here http://blogs.shephertz.com/2013/11/13/process-of-matchmaking-with-known-user-and-random-user-on-appwarp/

 

Thanks
