NetCode is a library to handle the complexities of real time lossy networking, without requiring a lot of work. NetCodeTest contains a small test project to demonstrate the functionality of the NetCode library.

A list of planned improvements include:

• Synchronisable Field Support:
  • Partial updates for Lists and Arrays
  • Support for unordered containers, to minimise effects of removed elements.
  • Nested entitites
  • Auto references, to add entities to the pool when needed.
  • Remove Polling mechanism and have job que specifically for resolving Reference lookups.
• System for automatically breaking large payloads into many small payloads.
• Client/Connection improvements:
  • Light security for authenticating clients.
  • Fingerprinting of NetDefinitions so that versions issues can be detected.
  • Dynamic packet timeouts.
  • Remove UDPConnectionRequestPayload and include more generic solution.
  • Mechanism for deferring and grouping payloads based on transmit priority.
  • Server Blacklisting
  • A port based UDP model where new connections are forwarded to new ports.
• Tools to assist in measuring network usage size.
• General stability testing when recieving garbage payloads.
• Payload encryption options
