tinyNet

Tiny Networking examples done on streaming via Twitch (In Spanish) and It's saved on Youtube
Inspired by this theCherno video, I wanted to create the following videos/features.

Create Server UDP (Linux/Windows).
Create Client UDP (Linux/Windows).
- Move all Common code into a new struct/class
- Client maybe will create a jthread to wait messages from server.
Change std::string by protobuf for message interchange.
Compress/decompress messages (with some compression algorithm, just for fun).
Encrypt messages with something simple (just for fun).

I'm following and trying to create something simpler of Valve's GameNetworkingSockets.

Building

Dependencies

CMake 3.10 or later
A build tool like Ninja, GNU Make or Visual Studio
A C++23-compliant compiler, such as:
- GCC 13 or later
- Clang 16 or later
- Visual Studio 2022 or later
Vcpkg
- build-essential
- tar
- curl
- zip
- unzip

Using CMake (preferred):

CMake presets:

gcc:
- gcc_debug
- gcc_release
clang:
- clang_debug
- clang_release
Windows MVSC (Visual Studio 2022):
- wind_debug
- wind_release
Windows Clang (Visual Studio 2022):
- wind_clang_debug
- wind_clang_release

Let's see an example with gcc_release as preset, but you can choose another from this list.

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/parequena/tinyNet
$ ./libs/vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. --preset gcc_release
$ cd gcc_release
$ cmake --build . -j
