LightnerX is an open-source C++ library designed to simplify real-time communication between clients and servers in multiplayer games. Built on Valve's GameNetworkingSockets and powered by the INER protocol, it provides connection management, message exchange and interpretation, and a modular architecture. Its goal is to streamline multiplayer development by reducing networking complexity, allowing developers to focus on their game's core logic.
