name	ss14-prediction
description	Prediction guidance for SS14-ART-CORE SS14 work. Use when player actions should feel immediate, when touching shared systems, networked components, predicted popups/audio/spawn/delete, predicted BUI messages, or misprediction debugging.

SS14 Prediction

Prediction is required for new interactive gameplay unless impossible.

Workflow

1. Open references/prediction-checklist.md.
2. Open references/networked-component-state.md.
3. Open references/predicted-feedback.md.
4. Open references/bui-prediction.md for UI input.

Reference Split

• references/prediction-checklist.md: first-pass review of whether a feature can and should be predicted.
• references/networked-component-state.md: [NetworkedComponent], auto state generation, dirtying, field deltas, and cloneable state.
• references/predicted-feedback.md: popups, audio, spawn/delete, random, and idempotent predicted feedback.
• references/bui-prediction.md: component-backed BUI and SendPredictedMessage.

Rules

• Put predicted logic in shared.
• Dirty authoritative state changes.
• Use predicted feedback APIs.
• Test with fake lag and two clients for visible gameplay.
