sommario
UFG is a small distributed 2D fighting game built to explore a hard real-time problem: keeping two machines in agreement while both players expect immediate input response. The project combines a desktop game client, an authentication service, a signaling service, and a direct peer-to-peer gameplay channel. The main contribution is the match architecture. During a fight, there is no authoritative game server. Each client runs the same deterministic simulation and exchanges only player inputs through a WebRTC data channel. Rollback netcode absorbs late inputs by rewinding and replaying local state, while committed-frame hashes detect cases where the two simulations diverge. The backend services are intentionally modest. Authentication stores accounts and issues session tokens. Signaling pairs players and relays WebRTC setup messages, then leaves gameplay traffic to the peers. This keeps the distributed system focused on the central consistency and latency problem rather than on a large online platform. The report first defines the product boundary and requirements, then explains the design, implementation, validation, deployment, and player-facing workflow. It ends with future work and self-evaluation, including the parts intentionally left outside the submitted scope.
