MechaHamster is a game about guiding a futuristic hamster ball through dangerous space mazes, create mazes of their own, and share them with friends. Can you guide Major Hammy D. Hamster to safety?

MechaHamster serves as a demonstration, sample, and reference for integrating Firebase with the Firebase Unity SDK, and Daydream with the Google VR SDK for Unity into a game project.

MechaHamster demonstrates the following concepts:

• Mobile and Daydream play modes.
• Firebase Analytics to measure various aspects of user behavior.
• Firebase Authentication to associate user generated content with users.
• Firebase Realtime Database to store map and user data in addition to sharing content.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging to allow game admins to send push notifications which inform users of new map content.
• Firebase App Invites to share user generated content with other players.
• Firebase Remote Config to allow game admins to run experiments on game data without redeploying a new build of the game.

MechaHamster source code can be downloaded from Github.

• Open the project in at least Unity 5.6 beta, this is required for the Google VR SDK for Unity.
• Download the Firebase Unity SDK and unzip.
• Import the following plugins - using Assets > Import Package > Custom Package menu item - from the Firebase Unity SDK:
  • FirebaseAnalytics.unitypackage
  • FirebaseAuth.unitypackage
  • FirebaseDatabase.unitypackage
  • FirebaseInvites.unitypackage
  • FirebaseMessaging.unitypackage
  • FirebaseRemoteConfig.unitypackage
• Select a target platform (iOS or Android) using the File > Build Settings menu option.
• Add Firebase to your app using either the Firebase Unity SDK iOS Setup or Firebase Unity SDK Android Setup.
• Wait for the spinner (compiling) icon to stop in the bottom right corner of the Unity status bar.
• Finally, select the File > Build Settings menu option then click Build and Run.
