goworld
A scalable distributed game server engine written in Go, featuring hot-swapping for live updates.
What is goworld?
GoWorld is a distributed game server engine written in Go, designed for building scalable online games and real-time applications. It uses an entity framework to represent game objects like players and NPCs, enabling direct interaction within shared spaces and RPC calls across different spaces. The engine's distributed architecture allows horizontal scaling by adding more machines, making it suitable for handling large numbers of concurrent users.
Game developers and engineers building massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) or real-time multiplayer applications that require scalable server infrastructure and live updates. It is particularly suited for teams using Go and needing distributed systems with hot-swapping capabilities.
Developers choose GoWorld for its hot-swappable game processes, which allow live updates of server-side logic without significant disruption to players, combined with a distributed architecture that scales horizontally across multiple machines. It also offers multiple communication protocols (TCP, KCP, WebSocket) and built-in traffic compression and encryption for performance and security.
