Configuration and Setup

Prerequisites:

This is an advanced example and can be quite dense at times due to the many sub-systems.

• You should be very familiar with Unity3d & UUI
• Have a basic understanding of the PlayFab API
• Be comfortable working with JSON-to-C# serialization & deserialization

Back-end Setup:

The first step is cloning the Unicorn Battle back-end to your own PlayFab title so you can play around with all the data on your own.

We've built a handy tool to do this -- see the Back-end guide for full instructions.

Client Setup:

The next step is to get the Unicorn Battle client running on your own mobile device, and communicating with your own back-end.

There are two ways to setup the Unicorn Battle client. You can download the Unity source code, compile it yourself, and run on the device of your choice. Or, you can download and install our precompiled Unicorn Battle app directly from the Google Play store for Android.

See the Client Guide for full instructions.
