Supported Platform

Currently, ParrelSync supports Windows, macOS and Linux editors.

ParrelSync has been tested with the following Unity version. However, it should also work with other versions as well.

APIs

There's some useful APIs for speeding up the multiplayer testing workflow. Here's a basic example:

if (ClonesManager.IsClone()) {
  // Automatically connect to local host if this is the clone editor
}else{
  // Automatically start server if this is the original editor
}

Check out the doc to view the complete API list.

How does it work?

For each clone instance, ParrelSync will make a copy of the original project folder and reference the Asset, Packages and ProjectSettings folder back to the original project with symbolic link. Other folders such as Library, Temp, and obj will remain independent for each clone project.

All clones are placed right next to the original project with suffix _clone_x, which will be something like this in the folder hierarchy.

/ProjectName
/ProjectName_clone_0
/ProjectName_clone_1
...
