Distributed DeepThought: Synchronising complex network multi-player games in a scalable and flexible manner

We propose a solution to avoid stability, security and performance concerns in multi-player games. This should lead to greater scalability in existing multi-player games but could also provide a way to implement multi-player functionality in an existing single-player game whilst ensuring the code-base stays organised and robust without requiring large modifications to the existing architecture. The ideas presented in this publication aim to provide a scalable solution not just to the end product but also to the code base in order to ensure greater ease in future maintainability and expansion.
