Multiplayer Networking Solutions

"Move all" feature added in inventory. In your face little fudsters. Gaming revolution incoming!
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.

Handling acks during 1+ second packet loss with Glenn Fiedler's Reliable UDP Solution
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.

I need a good and simple networking library for C++
You may want to take a look at yojimbo , looks like it will fit your requirements pretty well.

Fan Games & Remakes
I love the original Prince of Persia, and the SDLPoP fan remake plays beautifully on the Deck (just add the Windows/Linux version from here as a non-Steam game).

SdLPoP control issues
SDLPoP is an open source port of the original Prince of Persia using the sdl library. Yes, I've also gathered that it's a standalone application that doesn't run through RetroArch. The documentation for the particular Retropie port of it is a bit sparse, but from what I've been able to gather apparently if one has control issues they should use that gamecontrollerdb.txt file and configure it correctly, but it's just that I couldn't get it to work. Whether I'm doing something wrong or there's something wrong with the port itself given the hardware, I don't know, that's why I'm asking for help here. For reference, here's some of the information I've already gone through : https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

Prince of Persia - great cinematic platformer, and probably first game I ever played. My oldest gaming memory is main character dying on spikes.
There's a source port to run the game on modern systems: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

If you’re old enough to remember: Prince of Persia from 1989
This is a good way to play this: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP

Prince of Persia JavaScript
This is great and I also enjoy https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP where my favourite feature is the ability to take a screenshot of the whole level... which usually fits well within my 4K display.
Oh, and playing at 3840x1200 means that every original 320x200 pixel is ... 144 pixels!
