# Nimble Client Logic

`nimble-client-logic` is a Rust crate designed to manage the client-side logic for multiplayer game
sessions using the Nimble protocol. It handles the creation and processing of messages,
including requests and responses:

- Download a complete game state from the host.
- Add and remove participants from the game session.
- Send predicted player inputs (steps) to the host.
- Receive authoritative combined steps from the host.

This crate ensures seamless synchronization between the client and host, maintaining the integrity
and consistency of the game state across all participants.

## Features

- **Connection Management**: Handles connecting to the host, agreeing on protocol versions,
    and managing connection states.
- **Game State Handling**: Downloads and maintains the complete game state from the host.
- **Participant Management**: Adds and removes players from the game session dynamically.
- **Step Prediction and Reconciliation**: Sends predicted player steps to the host and reconciles
    them with authoritative steps received from the host.
- **Blob Streaming**: Manages blob streaming for efficient game state transfers.

## Usage

Add `nimble-client-logic` to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
nimble-client-logic = "0.0.14-dev"
```
