networking

  • Overview of our network architecture
  • Designed for real time, fast action gameplay.
  • Bit-packed protocol for maximum efficiency.
  • Supports events, move streams, and most-recent state updates.
  • The bit protocol is defined in XML, so it is easy to network with code written in Flash, Java, C++, or other languages.
  • Capable of building real multiplayer games - RTS, FPS, racing, platformers, multiplayer Tower Defense, and more.
  • The market standard is uncompressed XML sent to Java-based servers. Our protocol is two orders of magnitude efficient across the wire, and our server technology is more efficient as well, so you can run more game servers on the same CPU.
