Question 1

how to integrate librg with ENet for a multiplayer game

Accepted Answer

You need to write custom code to pass buffer data between librg and ENet, using the example provided in the repository's apps folder as a starting point for handling send/receive calls and entity synchronization.

Question 2

librg vs Mirror Networking: which is better for Unity games

Accepted Answer

librg is a C library for custom engines requiring flexibility and bandwidth efficiency, while Mirror is a Unity-specific solution with built-in networking and ease of use; choose librg for C/C++ projects or when integrating with non-Unity backends.

Question 3

does librg support latency compensation or prediction

Accepted Answer

No, librg focuses on entity tracking and replication without built-in latency handling; developers must implement prediction and interpolation separately in their game logic, based on the networking library used.

Question 4

can librg handle thousands of entities in an MMO

Accepted Answer

Yes, with area-of-interest management and chunk-based querying, it efficiently scales by synchronizing only visible entities, but performance depends on custom visibility methods and server hardware, as noted in the documentation.

Question 5

what are the limitations of librg for 2D games

Accepted Answer

librg supports 2D worlds with custom visibility, but its chunk system might add overhead for very small or non-spatial games; ensure your entity queries align with the internal chunking for optimal performance.

Question 6

is librg compatible with WebAssembly or web games

Accepted Answer

Yes, via Emscripten as listed in the platform support table, but you'll need to integrate it with WebSocket or WebRTC for networking, and handle browser-specific constraints like latency and data serialization.
