Drag[en]gine Network Library 1.0

The Drag[en]gine game engine network module uses DNP (Drag[en]gine Network Protocol) to communicate with other game engine instances. For certain use cases you do not need a full fledged game engine. For these situations the Drag[en]gine Network Library has been created. These are static libraries to include into existing applications to speak DNP. Supported right now are:

• Static Library for C++ applications.
• JAR library for Java/Android applications.
• More to come (Python, C#...)

Typical use case are:

• Game servers hosting one or more games.
• Persistency support like database access, leader boards or spectator mode.
• Game development support like UnrealEditor plugins (LiveLink for DEMoCap for example).
• Administrator/Debug access.

The video below shows the example clients included in the release which synchronizes a simple float value.

See the source code in the Github Repository for how to use these libraries.
