In the last two reports we laid out the basis for building a Godot application that uses WebRTC to communicate with other peers. The implementation is a full p2p mesh , meaning every player is connected with each other via a "direct" connection, and there is no need for a player to act as a server. the ENet implementation).

Framerate Optimization To address this, Unity offers several profiling and debugging tools. One major source of overhead in ray tracing is the process of building the Acceleration Structure (ARTAS), which is required to traverse the scene’s geometry and perform intersection tests.
