So I know how to make a daily event but how do I make it the same for every device?
At 4:00pm there is an event and it’s randomized but people can nonstop refresh the page for a desired event ( which I do not want ) and I want everyone who gets the event to have the same event because it’s not fair. Also I don’t want people to be able to change their time and go to a previous event.
That would require a server which activates such event on an exact UNIX timestamp. (For example, the Unix timestamp for April 1st, 2026, 0 AM GMT would be 1775001600).
If running a server isn’t an option, you could use a seeded random number generator based on the current day.
Basically, imagine a Minecraft world generator where everyone shares the same seed each day. The world would still be random, but every user would get the same random world. (I can share some example code in your preferred language if you want!)
Unfortunately, because this would be running on the user’s machine, there’s not really a way to prevent cheaters from changing their system time to see past events, but that’s sort of the nature of games that run without a centralized server
Another possible way (lighter server), is having an Event JSON Language which loads Wick frames and clips.
That means that the server must send you the info, and with that power you can control which players get what when.
But at that point, you’re just making your average Live Service Mobile Game.
