Crate lightyear_sync

Lightyear Sync

This crate provides the synchronization layer for the Lightyear networking library. It handles time synchronization between peers, including:

• Ping and RTT estimation (ping).
• Timeline synchronization to align game state across different peers (timeline).
• Client and server-specific synchronization logic.

The core idea is to allow peers to maintain a synchronized understanding of game time, which is crucial for consistent simulation and prediction.

Modules

client

Client-specific synchronization logic. Handles syncing the time between the client and the server

ping

Manages pinging and RTT estimation between peers. Module to handle sending ping/pong messages and compute connection statistics (rtt, jitter, etc.)

plugin

Provides the SyncPlugin for integrating synchronization into a Bevy app.

prelude

Commonly used items from the lightyear_sync crate.

server

Server-specific synchronization logic.

timeline

Defines timelines and their synchronization mechanisms.
