Bevy Networking Plugin

This is a simple networking plugin for the Bevy game engine. This plugin provides the building blocks which game developers can use to develop online multiplayer games using the authoritative server model.

Currently, this plugin provides:

  • An independent tick timer used for client/server synchronization
  • UDP transport support
  • message priority support (sent on the next available game tick or sent immediately)
  • full connection life cycle management

By default, idle connections are dropped after 3 seconds, but this can be configured by changing the value of a NetworkResource's idle_timeout parameter.

It is up to the developer to keep this connection alive. Usually this means by sending a heartbeat packet on every tick. This can be done automatically if you add the auto_heartbeat_system to your client.
