Central network library for Altay written in PHP

Usage

use altay\network\Network;
use altay\network\raknet\RakNetTransport;
use altay\network\nethernet\NetherNetTransport;
use altay\network\nethernet\ServerData;

$network = new Network($myTransportListener);
$network->registerTransport(new RakNetTransport($logger, "0.0.0.0", 19132));
$network->registerTransport(new NetherNetTransport($logger, $networkId, new ServerData("Altay", "My World")));
$network->start();

while($running){
    $network->tick();
}

$network->shutdown();

To add another network system, implement Transport and register it on the same Network instance.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+ with ext-sockets and ext-openssl
• The NetherNet transport additionally needs ext-gmp. Its DTLS layer is altayofficial/dtls, which is pure PHP - there is no ext-ffi requirement and no native library is loaded at runtime
