AetherNet is a fast, easy-to-use, and safe networking framework designed specifically for game engine development. It aims to be modular and lightweight, making it simple to add as a submodule to any modern C++ game engine.
- Focused on Game Networking: Provides classes for servers, clients, and (planned) NAT traversal/hole punching.
- Easy Integration: Simple CMake-based build—drop it into your
extern/orlibs/folder, then addadd_subdirectory(AetherNet)and link. - High-Level API (Roadmap): Planned abstractions for messaging, event-driven design, and reliability layers.
- Safety and Reliability: Conforms to modern C++ best practices, with future support for secure connections, concurrency, and robust error handling.
