# game-packet

Simple UDP-based game networking

Game-packet is a Haskell library providing a simple networking stack for

fast-paced action games (e.g. first-person shooters). The principles are

from [gafferongames.com][].

[gafferongames.com]: http://gafferongames.com/

## Principles

At the base of the stack is the Socket. A socket has no notion of connection.

It just lets you send to and receive packet from (either a ByteString or more

generally a Serialize instance) another socket.

Above the Socket is the Connection. A connection is defined by a steady stream

of packets. When packets don't flow for more than some period of time, the

connection is broken.

Above the Connection, Acknowledgement is built. Acknowledgement provides

sequence numbers and acks. It is not yet implemented.
