Streamlined Database APIs Revolutionize Multiplayer Gaming, Enhancing User Experience
The article discusses how to design APIs for managing databases in online games efficiently. The main goal was to minimize database access and handle data effectively for multiplayer games. The researchers used object-oriented design and GoF design patterns to create optimized APIs for the server-side database. By implementing these patterns, they reduced the number of program calls between game and database servers, making maintenance easier and enabling the addition of new APIs. The study emphasized the importance of designing APIs to efficiently handle database resources in network games, which can save time and streamline game development processes.
