Network Overview

This page describes the engine’s networking libraries: network-server and network-client. Together they provide a small, pragmatic networking layer used by the example pong-network game.

Goals

  • Keep the protocol minimal and predictable for multiplayer games.
  • Use well-understood transports: TCP for reliable control messages and UDP for low-latency, best-effort state updates.
  • Provide clear validation hooks such as magic values and versioning so malformed packets are ignored early.
