Godot Modules - Dev Blog #1 (My journey with multiplayer so far)

• ENet-CSharp

  A improved fork of ENet, a tried and true networking library. C, C++, C# compatible. (by SoftwareGuy)

Making games isn't an easy thing to do, this is especially true for multiplayer games. Ever since I was 12 years old I wanted to make the ultimate multiplayer game. I first started getting into networking through GameMaker studio engine. I would watch tutorials online, try to understand them and end up just copying code for code. Later on I discovered Unity's Low-Level Multiplayer API (LLMAPI) and it was horrendous to get working. Not to mention the documentation for it was even more horrendous. Then much later I discovered [ENet-CSharp](https://github.com/SoftwareGuy/ENet-CSharp) and fell in love with its [simple approach](https://github.com/SoftwareGuy/ENet-CSharp/blob/master/QUICKSTART-EXAMPLES.md). I later found out that I could just add nuget packages to the .csproj file of Godot Modules project and bam I'm using Godot C# + ENet-CSharp. This is great because I'm super comfortable with the C# language.

For sending data over the network I used System.IO.BinaryWriter and System.IO.BinaryReader. I created some classes to help automate my life with this. Have a look at [CPacketPlayerPosition.cs](https://github.com/GodotModules/GodotModules/blob/main/Scripts/Netcode/Common/CPacketPlayerPosition.cs), [SPacketPlayerTransforms.cs](https://github.com/GodotModules/GodotModules/blob/main/Scripts/Netcode/Common/SPacketPlayerTransforms.cs), [CPacketLobby.cs](https://github.com/GodotModules/GodotModules/blob/main/Scripts/Netcode/Common/CPacketLobby.cs), [SPacketLobby.cs](https://github.com/GodotModules/GodotModules/blob/main/Scripts/Netcode/Common/SPacketLobby.cs) just to see how nice everything is grouped together. Before I had it so a lot of this code was dispersed across several files (for e.g. CWPacketLobbyJoin.cs, CRPacketLobbyJoin.cs, SWPacketLobbyJoin.cs, SRPacketLobbyJoin.cs) S stands for Server, C stands for Client, W stands for Write, R stands for Read.

  NodeJS server to list Godot lobbies for Godot Modules project.

  

Not sure what you mean by how I'm going to host it. Here is the server source btw --> master NodeJS server. I can just host it with "node server.js" on some computer.
