Game protocol parsing and hot update method and system based on LUA

Abstract

The invention relates to a game protocol parsing and hot update method and system based on LUA. The method comprises the following steps that: a server side generates a protocol format file, and sendsthe protocol format file to a client according to a client request; and an underlying protocol parsing library of the client automatically parses protocol data into a specified data structure according to the protocol format file, and sending the specified data structure to a corresponding functional module for direct use. The server side generates a protocol format file which contains all the protocol structures needed by a game, and the protocol format file can be modified and updated at any time without the need of a communication process between a server and the client, thereby reducing the communication cost. The data structure is automatically parsed, and a developer can directly use the data structure without the need of writing codes by hand or parsing a protocol one field after another, thereby greatly reducing the time of repeated parsing and the generation of human errors during the period, and also directly realizing hot update of the protocol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer applications, in particular to a method and system for game protocol analysis and hot update based on LUA. Background technique [0002] With more and more mobile games and more and more frequent iterations of game functions, it is increasingly important for developers to quickly analyze and update game function protocols. [0003] Now most of the unity mobile game companies basically use C# as the scripting language. When the C# script is written, the compiler needs to compile the dll executable file. However, this compilation process can only be completed on the PC platform, not on the mobile platform. Whenever we modify the logic and ui of the game, resulting in a change in the code structure, the developer needs to recompile, repackage, and recompile. For newer versions, developers need to spend a lot of repetitive coding time to complete protocol analysis, resulting in low development effic...
