# `ENet` raw packet server/client example

A tiny code example to show how to setup `ENet` server and clients for raw packets.

- Godot 4.2.

- Clients can only speak directly to the server.

- Server broadcasts messages to everyone.

- Clients receive a signal when other peers connect.

## Disclaimers:

- Raw packets aren't the recommended way of handling game state.

    - Unless you have a specific reason to use raw packets, try these first:

        - [`@rpc`](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.2/tutorials/networking/high_level_multiplayer.html#remote-procedure-calls)

        - [`MultiplayerSynchronizer`](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_multiplayersynchronizer.html)

        - [`MultiplayerSpawner`](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_multiplayerspawner.html)

- No encryption.

- No authorization.

- No port forwarding.

## How to run

Download and open the project in Godot 4.2:

```sh

git clone https://github.com/marcospb19/godot-enet-packet-server-example

cd godot-enet-packet-server-example

godot -e &> /dev/null & disown

```

Set it to run multiple instances:



Press play (F5 hotkey), it should open 4 windows:



Start clicking on buttons and you'll see logs inside of the Godot editor.



```ruby

peer 2000: connected to peer 1

peer 1   : connected to peer 2000

peer 3000: connected to peer 1

peer 3000: connected to peer 2000

peer 1   : connected to peer 3000

peer 2000: connected to peer 3000

peer 1   : received msg from peer 3000: 'Hi from 3000'

peer 2000: received msg from peer 3000: 'Hi from 3000'

peer 3000: connected to peer 4000

peer 1   : connected to peer 4000

peer 4000: connected to peer 1

peer 4000: connected to peer 2000

peer 4000: connected to peer 3000

peer 2000: connected to peer 4000

peer 3000: received msg from peer 4000: 'Hi from 4000'

peer 1   : received msg from peer 4000: 'Hi from 4000'

peer 2000: received msg from peer 4000: 'Hi from 4000'

peer 3000: received msg from peer 2000: 'Hi from 2000'

peer 1   : received msg from peer 2000: 'Hi from 2000'

peer 4000: received msg from peer 2000: 'Hi from 2000'

```

(IDs are random, I edited the above for better readability).

## More docs?

My plan is to put some of these into the docs, there are no official docs that put together an example like this.

## Open questions:

1. Is this, by default, using `ENet`'s reliable mode?

2. How hard is to change this from `Enet` to `WebRTC` or `WS`?

## Can I copy this?

Yeah! That's the spirit!
