Session Manager

SessionManager is a wrapper class using PlayPadCommunicator to support the deveopler with integrating some little more complicated features you can read about below.

It includes the following public APIs:

• AuthenticateFromExternalAndConnect method:
  Use this method once per application lifetime. It will communicate with PlayPad in order to:

  • Initialize communication
  • Handle external authentication
  • Set up SmartContractService if available (needed for example for Web3 duels)
  • Fetch tournament, leaderboards and user highscore data (after this method call respective communicators will have this data available to use)
  • Invoke FinishSessionInfoUpdate at the end

• ConnectedWithPlayPad:
  Tracks if AuthenticateFromExternalAndConnect has been already used.

• StartSessionInfoUpdate and FinishSessionInfoUpdate events:
  Invoked when PlayPad detects authentication change and requests executing it by the game (out of matchmaking or a match). Respectively at the beginning and at the end of such a process. Useful for displaying and hiding authentication in progress overlay.

• CurrentSession:
  Carries some useful data, like IsMobile boolean for UI or controls adjustments.
