The netgame module for godot allows for easy to use, painless and performant client/server application.

The module act as a network subsystem and is composed of 2 parts:

• NetGameServer: Act as a TCP and UDP server (requires a TCP and a UDP open port)
• NetGameClient: Act as a TCP and UDP client (do not require any open port)

Both parts manage the network packets behind the scenes and and exposes them through godot signals. Signals can be sent either in a separate thread or in process/fixed process.

Being a module you will need to recompile godot from source. To do that:

1. Clone the godot engine repository
2. Copy the netgame folder from this repository into the godot modules folder
3. Recompile godot (see http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/reference/_compiling.html )

For usage examples please refer to the project in the demo folder.

The methods should be self explainatory, the rt parameter when sending UDP packets will cause the receiving end to drop the packet if it is received out of order

This module is in a very early development stage:

• The protocol is not yet very robust
• I'm planning to separate the TCP and UDP server in the future.
• The current client limit is 256
• The current commands limit is 255
• Heavy TCP usage will increase the UDP packet loss rate.
