Multirole VS yojimbo

I'm trying to write some bots (currently in Python but I'm flexible on this point) that, to boil it down, can query gamestate information (what cards are in what zones, how many cards does my opponent have left in deck, what cards are in my hand, etc) and send commands to a Yugioh simulator. The closest thing to my usecase that I have found is this, a C++ local server implementation that I can get up and running, but can't connect to (and digging through the implemented bots, it seems like a nightmare of undocumented C++ network protocol that would take me at minimum weeks to unravel in order to connect to it). Has anyone tried something like this before? Did anyone find a sim that has a convenient API for bots, particularly ones written in Python? Thanks in advance

They really just didn't know how to go about building a complex online game or what that entails. At one point they were trying to donate to open source networking projects that were still in development and not production-ready in hopes they'd help them make their game, you'll see them listed as sponsors of yojimbo for example. It was bizarre to watch.

I can't remember exactly how best to handle this (Glenn's yojimbo project is probably your best bet for a concrete implementation), but here's an idea: buffer and ACK some packets (e.g. up to N packets following your missing packet) and discard everything else (without ACK) until the missing one shows up. The protocol will then continuously try to send your missing packet, in addition to the packets you've intentionally not ACK'd. Once the missing packet shows up you can process it and any buffered packets up to your next missing packet and repeat.

You may want to take a look at yojimbo , looks like it will fit your requirements pretty well.

And has his own C++ library for transmitting messages over UDP protocol https://github.com/networkprotocol/yojimbo
