GMX v2 and Its Competitors: The New Wave In the Decentralized Derivatives Market And Its Impact

Workspaces are under the microscope again but how are tech workers affected by the flexible workspaces and sharing culture of startups? The office petri dish In times of epidemic, the familiar can become unknown. Media are full of images showing the 'normal' order of things inverted because of coronavirus - face masks in intimate personal settings, deserted traffic intersections, major sporting events in empty stadiums. The workplace has, for many of us lately, also undergone a transformation. In these times of heightened anxiety, the slick modern office becomes a petri dish for whatever microbes your colleagues are carrying. Door handles, keyboards, bathroom taps, coffee machines: all are surfaces on which germs linger longer than you’d ever want to know about. Studies take macabre glee in shocking us with how, under the microscope, our desks are really alien landscapes of . filth Contagion and the global What is disturbing is the realisation of how involved in each other’s lives we are, in ways we are not accustomed to seeing. Cultural theorist of the outbreak narrative, Priscilla Wald, has written about how viruses have become a popular way to imagine this proximity in the age of globalisation. As we track the movement of a virus, from outwards, the epidemiological detective work becomes a narrative of our era's interconnectedness. The smallness of the world, and proximity of the oter, is tangible in the spread of germs from one place to another. Patient Zero As Wald writes, these connections are scary because we cannot control or avoid them: “the interactions that make us sick also constitute us as a community.” In the global age, we have become increasingly aware of how this community includes all of us. Blurring the lines at work A report last year suggested modern offices encourage dirty habits. As young companies and startups put more emphasis on personal comfort and ‘being yourself’ at work, it is more difficult to differentiate personal space from shared. Social norms around hygeine might be laxer - with consequences for those afraid of germs. Financial Times While it’s easy to fall into caricatures of flip-flops and bean bags, it's not uncommon for startups to give workers areas to lounge and nap, or to bring their pets. This level of comfort is part of the flexibility which workspaces are seeking to embrace, by blurring the boundaries of 'at-work' and 'at-home' behaviour. For some, this can affect hygeine. “It’s a cliché but where you have younger employees, often with a more laid-back attitude, the workspace can get messy," said a tech worker at a New York startup. "Shared areas don’t get cleaned properly, especially bins and toilets. That’s my experience anyway.” The pivot towards coworking and fully agile offices is also breaking down boundaries between personal and shared workspace. In offices where there is no fixed seating plan, and workers can switch between desks as they like, there is no ‘my’ desk; there is only the desk of others and a risk of undesired contact. Beyond just seating arrangements, community and sharing are keywords for startup culture. There is a specific drive towards a shared, team spirit that extends beyond regular office structures Common rituals include daily huddles, Friday beers, high fives and pizza platters. We Work is just a recent example - a vision constantly articulated in the branded third-person plural. This drive for community necessarily brings us more into contact and as a result more risk. If success, in the mantra of many a startup, is always shared then it is the very flipside of the contagion we fear. Going meet-free? This awareness is already causing shifts in how startups do their business. For instance, there is likely to be a fall in non-urgent meetings and team events. “Many of our customers are startups, who use our platform to book spaces for their work events,” said Julian Jost of . “So far, bookings in Europe and North America have been unaffected but we have seen effects in Hong Kong. We’re braced for some uncertainty in the short-term but remain confident things will calm down.” Spacebase Coworking or quarantine It is also a concern for startups and freelancers based in coworking spaces. Coronavirus recently spread to Berlin, where it caused the shock cancellation of world's biggest travel tradeshow, . ITB Users of , one of the city’s most popular coworking spaces, were resigned about these creeping effects. “We all did some research about corona and we’re trying to be well-informed and not to create chaos” said one freelancer Lidi. Betahaus But when coworking is no longer feasible - at what point do people check out entirely? “Maybe there would come a moment when I would stay home - we haven’t reached it yet but it’s in the back of all our minds,” said another developer. “We don’t want to share everything. I notice today the space is less packed than usual.” Tech workers of the world - stay home! Clearly, the flexibility of the startup office also gives many tech workers the chance to work from home. At giants like Google and Twitter, ‘stay home’ is already the mantra for their global workforce. Mario Da Deppo has worked remotely as a senior developer for the past 5 years. He is based in Bologna, near the outbreak zones in northern Italy. “After some initial days of panic in quite some people, the situation is normalizing and I feel we're overcoming most irrational fears,” he explained. He sees the upside of the current outbreak as an experiment in remote working for many outwith the tech industry, who otherwise have not been given a chance to try it. “I hope that this epidemic will make stakeholders more aware of the remote option, allowing in the future more people to try and do it.” A pivot towards the home office may be the best way to avoid the invisible bugs of our tech workspaces.

What does a movie lover and gamer have in common? They always look for inspiration, they believe in a world beyond our reality, and obviously, they are super lazy; #LOL, just kidding. So we made a list of movies and games. The list includes the best movies in terms of their respective areas of filmmaking. These areas of expertise include storytelling, experience for the audience, the technology creators used, its ability to reach out to a massive community, and a surprising industry trend at the end. So, Press any button to Begin, and Let’s Play! The Lord of Rings: The Return of Epic Story Telling A good story can captivate your audience, but a great story makes them share it with their friends. A Cinematic experience will fall flat if there is no juice in the stories and script of a movie. Similarly, having a compelling story to tell in a game is a must. Write, draft, storyboard, just write your ideas, and You Shall Pass! 1. In-Depth Characters Often, you want to focus on characters that resonate with the audience's emotions just like a hobbit setting sail to stop a war between good and evil. The user needs to feel connected with your character, maybe a backstory, or an ultimate goal, but it needs to allow players to relate at a personal level. 2. The Leveling Arc Another aspect of stories that has a significant impact is the story arc. With every level of difficulty, your users need a ray of hope to keep going. Balance the difficulty and achievement really well to keep players coming back for more. 3. Wish I Could Stay in This World Last but not least, drafting an environment your users will explore. Whether it's the time, sky, grass, houses, or even a small house fly floating around in the game or movie, everything needs to be perfect and life-like. The audience should believe that they discovered a whole new world and never want to go back. Like in the movie, the fictional world of middle earth: the Shire, the lake town, ‘Rivendell’, misty mountains, and ‘Mordor.’ Render-Man: Across the UX-Verse , which is the motto of every game designer. The focus here is on design, interactivity, and small mechanics. Game developers and designers always try to understand the expectations of users to eventually exceed it. With top-notch creativity comes amazing user experience Ideation and Design A movie often uses dark gradients to achieve a tense tone, same goes for games and vibrant colors to captivate players. Both should have design elements and concepts that resonate with the message a creator wants to convey. For example, in Spider-Man, the color gradient of a movie slowly shifts to a darker tone. The colorless one of Gwen's background, the lightning colors of Miles' background, and lastly, the dark damping color to explain the bitter ending. Similarly in games too, designers often use various color scales to show the progression of the game. It may lead to better endings, a clear blue sky, and a flowerful field for joy, or it may have a grayish-blacking tone for boss fights in the rain. : Here is a list of colors paired with emotions for you Excitement, Passion, Energy, Danger Red - Calm, Trust, Serenity, Sadness Blue - Nature, Growth, Harmony, Renewal Green - Earthiness, Stability, Warmth, Reliability Brown - Modernity, Elegance, Futurism, Innovation Silver - Happiness, Optimism, Warmth, Attention Yellow - Royalty, Luxury, Creativity, Mystery Purple - Enthusiasm, Vitality, Playfulness, Energy Orange - Romance, Sweetness, Tenderness, Playfulness Pink - Mystery, Elegance, Power, Darkness Black - Purity, Simplicity, Cleanliness, Innocence White - Neutrality, Balance, Practicality, Boredom Gray - Wealth, Prosperity, Luxury, Achievement Gold - Interactivity Nowadays, movies are focusing on the audience more than ever before; this is due to the competition and the sudden rise of movie enthusiasts. We are seeing films that break the fourth wall or introduce crossovers to satisfy viewers' needs. Some movie makers tease clues to an open ending, like or narrate relatable content directly to the audience like Doing so increases the interactivity and establishes a communication channel between the audience and the content. In games, these tactics naturally preexist, and interactivity is at the highest level. So they play with micro-interactivity! Nolan, ‘FightClub.’ Micro-interactivity and animation are something that fascinates every gamer. Completing a puzzle to open the door or that story-based ‘Spacebar’ tap to defeat a big monster. Here is the list of the most trending micro-interactive features that game creators love to add. AI-generated NPCs with whom users interact, and on the basis of their choices, the next plot arc is fabricated. Audio-based content; footsteps in the dark and opera music chase in desserts. To elevate the cinematic experience for users, game creators are focusing on onboard video game composers. These small attention to details eventually increases the user experience for gamers, and the same goes for movie enthusiasts. Mechanics The elements used by movie makers to keep users hooked and entertained are all part of movie mechanics. It could be a small special effect, the way the script is written, or a particular animation style like in . Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse When it comes to game development, developers add unique mechanics. It leads to a memorable gaming experience for the gamers, and hence, a sudden rise in popularity. The three most trending gameplay mechanics are: Just like time flows differently in Nolan's movies, games allow users to manipulate time, unlocking a smart objective-taking mechanic. Game Play Innovation: If you watch each character provides you with a different perspective, giving the power of choice in the viewers’ hands. Gamer developers design their games in a similar fashion, but they dig a little deeper. A nonlinear, open-world, creator-mode gameplay allows the player to shape the world as per their choices. Player Agency: Rashomon, Providing multiple endings to play for will allow players to come back for more and enjoy the game to the fullest again. Replayability: It's a simple mechanic, but many game developers utilize this to explore their ideas which could elevate the game’s story but is not concerned with the main plot. Avatar: The Way of Modern Game Development Technology has helped games to achieve numerous milestones. It made the gaming industry a successful business investment for many enthusiasts around the world. With the help of modern game development technologies and tools, we are looking at a scaling revolution for the entertainment industry. Here are some overlooked benefits modern technologies offer when it comes to providing game development: There are plenty of ways to monetize a game nowadays. Cloud gaming, online multiplayer, and cross-platform gaming allow games to reach a wider audience. Dynamic Audie engine and Ray tracing for real immersion qualities in games. Streamlining development with the help of innovative tech. Removing toxicity and making a better gaming experience for future generations. The most widely utilized technologies are: : Used for Intelligence, Decision-Making, Streamlining development process, and Security in the gaming industry. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning For Security, Asset Ownership, Tradability, Transparency. Blockchain: It is widely used for Immersion, Augmented experience, its features, and massive multiplayer. Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality: , metaverse gaming Interaction and Data collection. Internet of Things: Marvel’s Avengers: The Community War Criticism, appreciation, support, and backlashes, if you are making a movie or a game, you should prepare yourself for every possible and unexpected outcome as a creator. The reason is both industries have the highest face value, and their demand increases with their massive community. In today’s world, they both are truly driven by their community. At some point, the influence of this massive community can even affect the final result. Also Read: All Marvel Movies Coming Out in 2023 Take the Marvel movie, Avengers: Endgame, for example. played by ., died in Endgam,e marking the end of the actor's contribution to the franchise. Ironman, Robert Dawney Jr But soon, the whole community went into an uproar, hence, decided to bring Robert back as a cameo in the new Spiderman movies. Marvel Studios In the gaming industry, similar cases were observed where the community did not agree with the end product, and gaming studios had to rework it. One classic example of this is Dota reworking overpowered heroes with every patch to balance the game. So, how do we prevent these community backlashes? Well, there is a way: Just like movie makers release teasers & trailers, game creators can leverage beta testing to perfect their game quality. Using data analytic tools to adapt the community choices, patterns, and behaviors. Be precocious of market requirements, and don’t let the toxic on you. Avengers assemble Consult an expert who is good with researching and innovating according to the demands of users and viewers. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Retro & Classics Some of us never let go of the past; it always stays with us. There is something special about those times in our hearts. Whether it's watching Christmas movies during the holidays or playing games during rainy afternoons. The coziness, the thrill, and the food hit differently when you can enjoy your favorite retro & classics your way. This feeling of nostalgia has a separate fanbase, therefore, a new trend in game genre has emerged just like in movies: “Reviewing the Retros.” Final Thoughts! Game development and movie making are both two ripe apples fallen from the same tree of creativity and entertainment. There are experts who can blend them both for spectacular results. So, if you are looking to make your unique game idea a trending reality, consult with a reliable game development studio for the optimum result. We saw how they both share so much in common, from community and character to technology and love for oldies. But the gaming industry takes the last stretch by the average engagement duration, huge cultural impact, better monetization model, and consistent scaling. So choose wisely, and thank you for reading! “I’ll be BACK!’

Cinematic Playground: Exploring the Fusion of Movies and Games

In terms of network transmission, in a realtime multiplayer game, data format is key. We cover techniques for serializing and deserializing data, including formats and libraries. We answer questions like these: Which data should be transmitted? In which situations? Read for answers. Hello everyone, I'm Dmitrii Ivashchenko, Lead Software Engineer at MY.GAMES. We're continuing our on Unity Realtime Multiplayer in 2023, and this time we'll discuss preparing game data for network transmission. article series What is the preferred format for passing data? We've already taken a deep dive and seen how networks are structured and how they function, including a look at the various limitations and peculiarities we must deal with. However, the exchange of information relies on more than just network infrastructure; data format must also be considered. So, next up, we'll see how to transmit data over a network efficiently — and how to avoid any pitfalls in the process. Serialization and deserialization Serialization and deserialization are critical elements for implementing real-time multiplayer games. These operations are used to convert game data into a format that can be transmitted over the network and back again. is the process of converting an object's state into a byte stream for transmission over a network, for saving to memory, or for sharing between different services or processes. Serialization In the context of multiplayer games, serialized data would include data about the current state of the game, such as the position and status of players, the state of the game world, and so on. is the reverse process where the serialized byte stream is converted back into objects in memory. Deserialization Both play an important role in multiplayer games with constant data exchange between clients and servers, and we need to consider several aspects of this process: : Serialization and deserialization must be as fast and efficient as possible to avoid delays. Choosing an appropriate serialization method is particularly important: some methods (such as JSON or XML) are easily readable and writable by humans, but they are usually less efficient compared to binary serialization. Performance : Serialized data must occupy as little memory as possible to reduce the load on the network and players' devices. Data compression can help reduce the size of transmitted data, but it can also increase the time required for serialization and deserialization. Memory : Serialization and deserialization processes must be protected from manipulation and attacks. (For example, deserializing unreliable data can lead to security vulnerabilities.) Security : Game data may change over time, so it is important to manage version changes in the serialization and deserialization process. Mechanisms for managing version changes can vary depending on the serialization method used. Version compatibility JSON is one of the most popular formats for exchanging data between a client and a server, and it's supported by almost every programming language (including C#). To work with JSON in Unity, you can use the classes from the namespace. JSON JsonUtility UnityEngine Let's see how it's done. First, let's create a data class: [System.Serializable]
public class PlayerData
{
    public string playerName;
    public int score;
} Next, we can use the and methods for serialization and deserialization, respectively. ToJson FromJson public void ExampleUsage()
{
    // Create an instance of player data
    PlayerData player = new PlayerData
    {
        playerName = "TestPlayer",
        score = 5000
    };

    // Serialize player data into JSON
    string json = JsonUtility.ToJson(player);
    Debug.Log(json);  // Output: {"playerName":"TestPlayer","score":5000}

    // Decerialize JSON back to player date
    PlayerData deserializedPlayer = JsonUtility.FromJson<PlayerData>(json);
    Debug.Log(deserializedPlayer.playerName);  // Output: TestPlayer
    Debug.Log(deserializedPlayer.score);  // Output: 5000
} In this example, we create an instance of the class, serialize it to a JSON string, and then deserialize it back into a object. PlayerData PlayerData Binary Serialization Moving on, is preferable to JSON serialization for several reasons. It is more efficient in terms of performance and resource utilization since data is transformed into a compact binary format. This results in faster processing time and less data volume for storage and transmission over the network. binary serialization Additionally, unlike JSON, which is easily readable and editable and is not suitable for storing and transmitting sensitive data, binary data is more difficult to read and modify, making it more secure for storing sensitive information. In Unity and C#, you can use the and classes from the and namespaces, respectively. Let's take a look at an example: BinaryFormatter MemoryStream System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary System.IO using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

public static byte[] Serialize(object obj)
{
    BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
    using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        bf.Serialize(ms, obj);
        return ms.ToArray();
    }
}

public static T Deserialize<T>(byte[] byteArr) where T : class
{
    using (var memStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        var binForm = new BinaryFormatter();
        memStream.Write(byteArr, 0, byteArr.Length);
        memStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        var obj = (T) binForm.Deserialize(memStream);
        return obj;
    }
} In this example, takes an object and converts it into an array of bytes. takes an array of bytes and restores it into an object of type . Serialize() Deserialize<T>() T Here are some examples of using these functions: public void ExampleUsage()
{
    PlayerData player = new PlayerData
    {
        playerName = "TestPlayer",
        score = 5000
    };

    byte[] serializedPlayer = Serialize(player);
    PlayerData deserializedPlayer = Deserialize<PlayerData>(serializedPlayer);

    Debug.Log(deserializedPlayer.playerName);
    Debug.Log(deserializedPlayer.score);
} Here, we've created an instance of the class, serialized it, and then deserialized it back into a object. (Note that the class must be marked as . This is important because the can only serialize classes marked with this attribute.) PlayerData PlayerData PlayerData [Serializable] BinaryFormatter ProtoBuf Google's ( ) is a binary serialization format designed to be much more compact, faster, and easier to use compared to standard formats such as JSON or XML. It not only provides efficient data serialization and deserialization, but it also speeds up data exchanges by reducing the amount of data transmitted. Protocol Buffers ProtoBuf ProtoBuf is particularly useful in situations where response time and efficient resource utilization are critical factors, such as inter-server communication or real-time transmission of large amounts of data. FlatBuffers Another widely used solution for data serialization is FlatBuffers. FlatBuffers is an efficient binary serialization format created by that provides fast and easy serialization and deserialization of structured data. The FlatBuffers protocol was designed with the features of real-time multiplayer games and applications in mind and offers several advantages over ProtoBuf. Google One of the key advantages of FlatBuffers over ProtoBuf is that it allows direct access to serialized data without prior deserialization. This means that you don't have to spend processor time deserializing entire blocks of data if you only need to extract certain parts of the data. Unlike ProtoBuf, FlatBuffers supports trees and graphs of structured data, making it a more flexible option for complex data structures. Although ProtoBuf and FlatBuffers have a lot in common, FlatBuffers may be the better choice for projects that require high performance and efficiency when working with large and complex data structures. Transmission of State and Input Developing a multiplayer game involves making many decisions, and one of the most important is choosing between synchronizing the game state and transmitting user input. State Transmission Game state transmission involves the control node (or server) receiving a command from the player processing it, and then transmitting the new game state to all participants. For example, player A sends the command to the server. The server receives the request, processes it, and informs all players that player A is now at point (1, 2). Player A, upon receiving the response from the server, moves to the new position, and the character of player A is also moved to the new position on the screens of other players. MoveTo(1, 2) In this approach, the role of the control node (or server) is important, as it provides centralized management of the game's state and ensures synchronization between all players. Let's consider a code example that demonstrates this approach. The class in this code serves as a global game state manager in the context of a networked game, using Unity's Mirror. It uses the singleton pattern to manage the only instance of : GameStateManager GameStateManager public class GameStateManager : NetworkBehaviour
{
    private static GameStateManager instance;
    public static GameStateManager Instance { get { return instance; } }

    [Command]
    public void CmdMovePlayer(Vector3 position)
    {
        RpcMovePlayer(position);
    }

    [ClientRpc]
    private void RpcMovePlayer(Vector3 position)
    {
        // Update the player's position on all clients
        foreach (PlayerController player in players)
        {
            player.MoveTo(position);
        }
    }
} The method is used to send a command to the server to move the player to a new position. The server then broadcasts this information to all clients using , which updates the position of each player on all client machines. This allows all clients to be aware of changes in the position of other players. CmdMovePlayer RpcMovePlayer When a player presses the spacebar, a random new position on the field is selected, and then the command is called to send this new position to the server: CmdMovePlayer public class PlayerController : NetworkBehaviour
{
    private void Update()
    {
        if (!isLocalPlayer) return;

        // Handle player input
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            // Move the player to a new position
            Vector3 newPosition = new Vector3(Random.Range(-5f, 5f), 0f, Random.Range(-5f, 5f));
            CmdMovePlayer(newPosition);
        }
    }

    [Command]
    private void CmdMovePlayer(Vector3 position)
    {
        // Send the player's new position to the server
        GameStateManager.Instance.CmdMovePlayer(position);
    }

    public void MoveTo(Vector3 position)
    {
        // Move the player to the specified position
        transform.position = position;
    }
} The method then passes this information to the game state manager , which updates the player's position on the server. The method is used for the actual movement of the player to the specified position on the client machine. CmdMovePlayer GameStateManager MoveTo Input transmission An alternative approach is to transmit user input. In this case, the player sends their command to all other participants, and each of them independently processes this input and updates the game state. Continuing the example with player A, they send the command to all players. After receiving confirmation from all players, Player A moves to the new position, and the character of Player A also moves to the new position on their screens. MoveTo(1, 2) Unlike the previous approach, this one does not require a control node that would centrally process all commands and update the game state. Instead, each player independently processes input and updates the game state: public class InputManager : NetworkBehaviour
{
    public void SendInput(Vector3 moveDirection)
    {
        CmdSendInput(moveDirection);
    }

    [Command]
    private void CmdSendInput(Vector3 moveDirection)
    {
        RpcUpdateInput(moveDirection);
    }

    [ClientRpc]
    private void RpcUpdateInput(Vector3 moveDirection)
    {
        // Update the player's input on all clients
        foreach (PlayerController player in players)
        {
            player.UpdateInput(moveDirection);
        }
    }
} This code sends player input to the server using the command , and then the server broadcasts this input to all connected clients through , updating the movement of each player on all client machines: CmdSendInput RpcUpdateInput public class PlayerController : NetworkBehaviour
{
    private Vector3 inputDirection;

    private void Update()
    {
        if (!isLocalPlayer) return;

        // Handle player input
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        inputDirection = new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0f, verticalInput).normalized;

        // Send the input to all other players
        InputManager.Instance.SendInput(inputDirection);
    }

    public void UpdateInput(Vector3 moveDirection)
    {
        // Update the player's input
        inputDirection = moveDirection;
    }
} In each frame, horizontal and vertical input from the local player is read and this movement information is transmitted to all other players through . InputManager.Instance.SendInput(inputDirection) After that, the player's movement direction is updated based on incoming data from other clients using the method. UpdateInput Choosing between State Transfer and Input Transfer The choice between these two approaches largely depends on the requirements of the game. If a high degree of synchronization is required between all players and the possibility of cheating needs to be prevented, then the state transfer approach may be the preferred way. However, this usually demands more network traffic and it can also be more difficult to implement. The approach of transferring input, on the other hand, may be easier to implement and it might require less , but this assumes that the game logic must be deterministic (i.e. it should give the same result with the same input). In some cases, this can be difficult to achieve. network traffic Conclusion We've talked about techniques for serializing and deserializing data for network transmission, the formats, and some available libraries to do this. We've also discussed which data (state or user input) should be transmitted over the network and in which situations. In the next article, we will examine the main network topologies used in real-time multiplayer games!
