Nimble Client 🕹️

Welcome to Nimble Client, a robust and efficient Rust crate designed to handle networking tasks for multiplayer games. 🎮✨

📦 Overview

Nimble Client is a lightweight library that manages:

• Downloading the Complete Game State from a host
• Adding and Removing Participants in a game session by sending request messages to the host
• Sending Predicted Inputs (Steps) to the host for smoother gameplay
• Receiving Authoritative Steps from the host to ensure game state consistency

Note: Nimble Client does not handle game logic directly. Instead, it interfaces with your game logic through callbacks, ensuring a clean separation of concerns.

✨ Features

• Efficient Network Communication: Handles sending and receiving data with optimized performance.
• Participant Management: Easily add or remove players from your game sessions.
• Prediction and Reconciliation: Sends predicted inputs and processes authoritative steps to maintain game state integrity.
• Metrics and Logging: Built-in network metrics and logging for monitoring and debugging.
• Extensible Callbacks: Integrate seamlessly with your game logic through customizable callbacks.
