LanguageProject Introduction
Summary
Skynet is an open-source, C/Lua-based framework designed for creating highly concurrent and distributed online game servers. It emphasizes performance, scalability, and ease of development using a message-passing architecture.
Problem Solved
Building scalable, high-performance online game servers from scratch is complex. Skynet provides a robust, battle-tested foundation and framework to abstract away common challenges like concurrency, networking, and distribution.
Core Features
Concurrent Service Model
Utilizes a actor-like model with services communicating via message passing, simplifying concurrent programming.
Hot Code Reloading
Supports hot code reloading for Lua services, allowing updates without stopping the server.
Built-in Monitoring & Debugging
Built-in tools for monitoring, debugging, and performance analysis.
Tech Stack
C
Lua
jemalloc
Use Cases
Skynet is well-suited for various types of online games and backend services requiring high concurrency and scalability:
Scenario 1: Real-Time Multiplayer Games
Details
Building the backend server for Real-Time Strategy (RTS) or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games requiring low latency and high player concurrency.
User Value
Provides the necessary performance and concurrency model to handle thousands of simultaneous player interactions with minimal latency.
Scenario 2: MMORPG Server Backend
Details
Developing the server infrastructure for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs), handling persistent worlds, player interactions, and game logic.
User Value
Offers a distributed architecture that can scale to support large player populations and complex game states across multiple server nodes.
Scenario 3: Casual Game Backend Services
Details
Creating backend services for mobile or web-based casual games, managing player accounts, game state, and leaderboards.
User Value
Provides a lightweight yet robust foundation that is efficient for managing many concurrent users and diverse game services.
