### Welcome!

Welcome to the Netcode for GameObjects repository.

Netcode for GameObjects is a Unity package that provides networking capabilities to GameObject & MonoBehaviour workflows. The framework is interoperable with many low-level transports, including the official [Unity Transport Package](https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/transport/current/about).

### Getting Started

Visit the [Multiplayer Docs Site](https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/) for package & API documentation, as well as information about several samples which leverage the Netcode for GameObjects package.

You can also jump right into our [Hello World](https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/tutorials/helloworld) guide for a taste of how to use the framework for basic networked tasks.

### Netcode for GameObjects v2
The most recent version of Netcode for GameObjects (v2) includes several improvements along with the more recent [distributed authority network topology](https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/terms-concepts/distributed-authority/) feature. You can find the source code for this on the [develop-2.0.0 branch](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects/tree/develop-2.0.0).
- The develop-2.0.0 branch incudes additional examples:
- [Netcode for GameObjects Smooth Transform Space Transitions](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects/tree/develop-2.0.0/Examples/CharacterControllerMovingBodies)
- This example has plenty of parenting examples, parenting under moving bodies, smooth transitioning between two parents, and a basic example of path defined motion.
- [Ping Tool](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects/tree/develop-2.0.0/Examples/PingTool)
- This includes a custom Runtime Netwokr Stats Monitor that includes client to client message processing ping times.
