New to network game programming have a few questions
Options
Hello all! As per the title I am new to this but I know I am capable of achieving my goals.
My question regards handling network events in the project.
If I have a server authoritative/peer to peer model for my game (not sure what else to call this), how would I ensure that in case the server goes offline unexpectedly the game continues?
If one player hosts the game and everyone else is a client but say that the server player loses power all of a sudden, I presume there would not be enough time to send everything necessary to keep the game-state intact and running. So how do we handle this?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Are you using Photon?
This topic is called host migration. You need to sync the world state in a way that someone else can become host. Also, all clients need to know where to connect to, if the current host drops or you need a connection via relay.0
