I am currently developing an online iOS (Sprite-Kit) turn-based asynchronous multiplayer game in Swift. I chose Firebase platform as my game-backend and everything is going pretty fine with the stuff like authentication, push-notification, etc. But one thing that I am worried about is how to manage the multiplayer aspects of my game, i.e - gamestate and stuff like that, since I cannot find any tuts or video on this aspect. Help me guys !!!

P.S : My first multiplayer project, so please be humble on me guys.

Hello Ayush,

Sounds exciting! Also, thanks for checking out Firebase.

Unfortunately, designing a multiplayer game is going to be a bit outside the scope of what we can type into an email (it's the subject of a book or twenty). But as for fitting a specific design pattern into Firebase, I'd be happy to help you sort that part. Just name the specific technical question that's giving you trouble.

You may also be interested in firebase-unity.
