About SDLC Corp

Carrom Physics Built From First Principles, Not Templates

SDLC Corp is a dedicated carrom board game development company that codes the full rigid-body collision model from scratch — not by adapting a generic 2D physics library.

The striker-coin collision model matches International Carrom Federation board geometry: 74cm playing surface, 3.18cm coin diameter, 4.13cm striker diameter, and 4.45cm pocket radius. Experienced carrom players detect physics shortcuts instantly — so we document every friction coefficient and impulse resolution value in a signed specification before writing any code.

We build board games across iOS, Android, PC, and web with server-authoritative multiplayer, five-level AI, and optional real-money carrom contest infrastructure.

Why Unity 2022 LTS for carrom: Its Physics2D pipeline handles 60fps rigid-body simulation on mid-range Android at consistent frame budgets. We use custom sub-frame interpolation rather than Unity's default because carrom coin animations require it to appear smooth at 30fps. See our board game development services for more engine trade-off documentation.
Core Capabilities

What Every Carrom Game Build Includes

These are the engineering decisions that separate a production-grade carrom game from a template clone. Every item is a core build requirement, not a paid add-on.

ICF-Accurate Physics Model

Striker-coin collision matches ICF board geometry. Friction coefficients and pocket detection tolerances documented in a signed spec before any code is written.

5-Level AI Difficulty

MCTS algorithm tuned per difficulty level. Win rates calibrated to 48–52% per skill segment — technically impressive AI that does not destroy player retention.

Server-Authoritative Multiplayer

All carrom rules logic runs on Node.js backend — prevents score manipulation in real-money variants and ensures both players always see identical board state.

Real-Money Contest Engine

Wallet, KYC via Sumsub, and optimistic concurrency for burst contest entry. Scales to thousands of simultaneous real-money carrom entries without deadlocks.

Cross-Platform Builds

Single Unity codebase targets iOS, Android, PC, tablet, and WebGL. Physics, wallet state, and leaderboard data consistent across all platforms.

App Store Submission

Full app store submission package included — metadata, screenshots, privacy policy, and certification documentation for Apple App Store and Google Play.

Development Timeline

From Physics Spec to App Store — Five Milestones

Week numbers reflect a standard cross-platform carrom app with real-time multiplayer and five-level AI. Tournament mode and white-label multi-operator support add 3–4 weeks to the backend phase.

01
Week 1
Physics Specification

Board geometry, coin-mass ratios, friction coefficients, and pocket detection tolerances documented in a signed spec. Errors found after multiplayer integration cost 5–10× more to fix.

02
Weeks 2–5
Game Design & Art

UI wireframes, board themes, coin sets, and difficulty curve targets. Client approves visual direction before any engine integration begins.

03
Weeks 6–10
Physics & AI Build

Full rigid-body simulation, five-level AI, and single-player game loop. Physics validated against ICF tolerances before multiplayer sprint starts.

04
Weeks 11–16
Multiplayer & Wallet

Server-authoritative multiplayer with rollback netcode. Real-money wallet and KYC integration if in scope. Load tested at 2× projected peak concurrent users.

05
Weeks 17–20
QA & Submission

Device matrix testing across iOS/Android/PC. App store submission package. 30-day post-launch monitoring and crash triage included.

Physics spec first, always: We do not write a single line of game engine code before the physics specification is signed. Errors in the collision model discovered after multiplayer integration cost 5–10× more to correct than errors caught in week one.
Why SDLC Corp

Six Reasons Operators Choose SDLC Corp

These are specific engineering practices and verifiable deliverables — not generic values statements. Every point corresponds to something you can check on day one of the project.

01
Server-Authoritative Physics

All carrom rules logic — foul detection, turn sequencing, coin ownership, and scoring — runs on our Node.js backend. Prevents score manipulation in real-money variants and guarantees identical board state for both players.

02
AI Tuned for Retention, Not Strength

Grandmaster-level MCTS produces 95% win rates — which destroys player retention. We cap AI search depth per level to calibrate 48–52% win rates per skill segment, validated against 3,000 beta sessions.

03
Rollback Netcode for Mobile

Rollback netcode adds 2–4 frames of display latency — preferable to desynchronised gameplay on mobile networks with packet loss above 2%. Every multiplayer carrom build includes this by default.

04
Full Source Code Ownership

All code, database schemas, and deploy scripts transfer on final payment. No licensing fees, no revenue share, no lock-in. IP ownership confirmed in writing before discovery begins.

05
Real-Money Compliance Built In

KYC via Sumsub, AML checks, and PCI-DSS payment rails are included in every real-money carrom scope. Not quoted as extras after a compliance review flags a gap.

06
Post-Launch LiveOps

30-day monitoring, hotfixes, and performance tuning after launch. Seasonal tournament content and live-service updates handled by the same team that built the original.

FAQ

Common Questions

Questions about carrom board game development. We respond within one business day.

What does a carrom board game development company actually build?
A specialist carrom board game development company builds the complete technical stack — physics engine, AI opponent system, real-time multiplayer server, UI, monetisation, and app store submission. Carrom physics is the most technically demanding part: the collision model must match ICF board geometry or experienced players will reject the game on first play. You receive all of this within a single engagement with no hidden add-on fees and full source code ownership.
How much does carrom game development cost?
A production online carrom game with AI opponent, real-time multiplayer, and iOS/Android builds typically ranges from $20,000–$60,000. A real-money carrom platform with wallet, KYC, and tournament infrastructure ranges from $60,000–$120,000. White-label multi-operator platforms add $15,000–$40,000 depending on operator count and custom rule sets. All ranges include source code handover.
Can I hire a carrom game developer directly?
Yes. SDLC Corp offers dedicated carrom game developer augmentation — the same physics and multiplayer specialists who build our full projects. Day rate and monthly retainer options available. Full IP ownership, daily standups, no minimum term. Contact us to discuss skill requirements and availability.
How do you handle the multiplayer sync problem in carrom?
We use server-authoritative physics with rollback netcode. The server runs the full Physics2D simulation and sends delta states at 20Hz — keeping bandwidth at 2.8KB/s per player. Rollback adds 2–4 frames of display latency but eliminates the 12%+ desync rate that peer-to-peer produces on mobile networks with packet loss above 2%.
Do you outsource carrom game development to third parties?
No. SDLC Corp is a full-time employed team — there is no subcontracting. The carrom game developers who scope your project build it. This means the physics specification, multiplayer architecture, and AI tuning decisions are all made by people accountable to your delivery timeline. IP ownership confirmed in writing before discovery begins.
How does SDLC Corp compare to other carrom game development studios?
SDLC Corp differentiates on three points: ICF-accurate physics documented in a signed spec before any code is written, retention-tuned AI calibrated against real beta-test data rather than just maximising difficulty, and full source code ownership with no revenue share or licensing fees. Most competitors ship generic physics templates and single-difficulty AI — both of which experienced carrom players immediately identify.
