bevy_quicsilver

A networking plugin for using the QUIC transport layer protocol with the Bevy game engine.

This crate integrates the quinn_proto library, a pure-rust implementation of QUIC, with the Bevy ECS, providing an idiomatic ecs-based API.

Development Status

This library is still very new and in active development. Although most of the core functionality is in place, it's not in a usable state yet.

Supported Bevy Versions

• 0.13.*

Features

Ultimately, bevy_quicsilver doesn't offer anything more complicated than sending and receiving raw bytes. It is intended to be a foundation ontop of which other libraries implement higher-level features, by abstracting the complexity of the transport protocol behind an ecs-based API.

That is not to say it is entirely barebones though, as a large part of the appeal of QUIC as a transport protocol for games is the wide variety of desireable features that are baked into the spec:

• Both unreliable messages and reliable-ordered streams
• Pluggable cryptography, with a standard implementation powered by rustls and ring
• Head-of-line blocking control and stream bandwidth sharing
• Simultaneous client/server operation
• IPv4 and IPv6 support
• Cross-platform
