Game Server

I'm thinking of switching over from .NET Console App to Godot 4 C# because I just opened this project in VS2022 and the console logger cursor was not working correctly.

Pros of going to Godot

• Can make use of Godot specific functions like GetNoise2D() which could be easily synced with client GetNoise2D() so everyone seeds the same seed
• Can make use of Godots awesome UI (who knows might even use ImGui with Godot)

What is this?

A multi-threaded console / game server that handles logging, user commands, database and ENet connections for Raccoons Rise Up clients.

I have tried using several networking libs in the past, none of them worked out for me.

• Unity's 2019 LLMAPI has little documentation and unexplained behavior
• Godot's server-client model requires Godot to be built from open source which led me to several issues
• Mirror has to be created within Unity 2019 LTS, it cannot be used in a dotnet console app

The only networking lib that stood out to me is ENet-CSharp, I find it to be very simple and straight forward. Since the original repository has their issues closed, you'll find that this repository has theirs open and there are many people willing to help you with any questions you may have.

I previously created a game-server for The MMORPG Project but it did not follow thread safety and depended on an external API for the console. This game-server follows thread safety and does not depend on any external API for the console.
