# Overview
The PlayEveryWare EOS Plugin for Unity brings the free services from Epic that connect players across all platforms and all stores to Unity in an easy-to-use package. Find more information on what services Epic Online Services encompasses, see here: [https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/services](https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/services) and to read the developer documentation on those services, see here: [https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-online-services](https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-online-services).
This repository contains the source code for development and serves as a destination for support for the [PlayEveryWare EOS Plugin for Unity (UPM Package)](https://github.com/PlayEveryWare/eos_plugin_for_unity_upm).
Out of the box, this project demonstrates (through a collection of sample scenes) each feature of the Epic Online Services SDK[^1]. The sample scenes (coupled with accompanying documentation) can be used to get an idea of how you can implement all the online features you want in your game!
See [this](/com.playeveryware.eos/Documentation~/plugin_advantages.md) for a more complete overview of the advantages of using EOS with Unity.
[^1]: See the [supported-eos-sdk-features](#supported-eos-sdk-features) section for which SDK features specifically are demonstrated.
> [!NOTE]
> If you are **not** interested in the _development_ of the EOS Plugin project (and instead just want to get to using it) you can follow our guide on [Importing the Plugin Package](#importing-the-plugin-package) to start using the most recently released version of the EOS Plugin.
# Getting Started
## Prerequisites
* [Create an Epic Games Account](https://www.epicgames.com/id/register) (_although, most [features](#exploring-supported-eos-features) do not require your users to have an Epic Games Account, you must have one to configure your game with Epic Games Developer Portal_).
* A product configured on the [Epic Games Developer Portal](https://dev.epicgames.com/portal/).
* A Unity project to integrate the plugin into.
> [!NOTE]
> Your system should also satisfy [Unity's system requirements](https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.3/Documentation/Manual/system-requirements.html) as well as the [EOS system requirements](https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-online-services/eos-get-started/system-requirements)
# Supported EOS SDK Features
Below is a table summarizing the level of support the EOS Plugin for Unity provides. Most features are demonstrated via sample scenes provided in the project, and links to the guide for each corresponding sample scene are listed below. In some cases (such as Anti-Cheat) the feature is not very well demonstrated with a scene. In those cases, a link to information about how the plugin utilizes the feature is provided. In some cases (such as logging and overlay) the features are not implemented in any one scene specifically, but in all of them.
Use the "Select Demo Scene" dropdown in the application to select the sample scene that corresponds with the walkthrough.
There are many EOS features that do not require your player to have an Epic Games Account (EGA) - such features are also marked accordingly in the following table.

## Importing the Plugin Package

* From a [git url](/com.playeveryware.eos/Documentation~/add_plugin.md#adding-the-package-from-a-git-url) _(this method has the possible advantage of keeping the plugin up-to-date, if that's something that you would prefer)_.
Once imported into your project, be sure to [Configure the Plugin](/com.playeveryware.eos/Documentation~/configure_plugin.md) to work with your game.
