1. Architecture Selection
Decision Tree
What type of multiplayer?
│
├── Competitive / Real-time
│ └── Dedicated Server (authoritative)
│
├── Cooperative / Casual
│ └── Host-based (one player is server)
│
├── Turn-based
│ └── Client-server (simple)
│
└── Massive (MMO)
└── Distributed servers
Comparison
| Architecture | Latency | Cost | Security |
|--------------|---------|------|----------|
| Dedicated | Low | High | Strong |
| P2P | Variable | Low | Weak |
| Host-based | Medium | Low | Medium |
2. Synchronization Principles
State vs Input
| Approach | Sync What | Best For |
|----------|-----------|----------|
| State Sync | Game state | Simple, few objects |
| Input Sync | Player inputs | Action games |
| Hybrid | Both | Most games |
Lag Compensation
| Technique | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| Prediction | Client predicts server |
| Interpolation | Smooth remote players |
| Reconciliation | Fix mispredictions |
| Lag compensation | Rewind for hit detection |
3. Network Optimization
Bandwidth Reduction
| Technique | Savings |
|-----------|---------|
| Delta compression | Send only changes |
| Quantization | Reduce precision |
| Priority | Important data first |
| Area of interest | Only nearby entities |
Update Rates
| Type | Rate |
|------|------|
| Position | 20-60 Hz |
| Health | On change |
| Inventory | On change |
| Chat | On send |
4. Security Principles
Server Authority
Client: "I hit the enemy"
Server: Validate → did projectile actually hit?
→ was player in valid state?
→ was timing possible?
Anti-Cheat
| Cheat | Prevention |
|-------|------------|
| Speed hack | Server validates movement |
| Aimbot | Server validates sight line |
| Item dupe | Server owns inventory |
| Wall hack | Don't send hidden data |
5. Matchmaking
Considerations
| Factor | Impact |
|--------|--------|
| Skill | Fair matches |
| Latency | Playable connection |
| Wait time | Player patience |
| Party size | Group play |
6. Anti-Patterns
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|----------|-------|
| Trust the client | Server is authority |
| Send everything | Send only necessary |
| Ignore latency | Design for 100-200ms |
| Sync exact positions | Interpolate/predict |
> Remember: Never trust the client. The server is the source of truth.

Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
