This project is a lightweight and highly customizable framework for TCP communication between client and server. Built using C++20 and ASIO, it provides secure client authentication via challenge/response and guarantees efficient message ordering and processing with low server resource utilization.
- Header-Only Design: Easy to integrate into any project by simply including the relevant headers.
- Client-Side Challenge: The server requires clients to solve a challenge upon connection, ensuring only valid clients can communicate.
- Generic Message Handling: Message types are customizable using C++ templates, allowing flexibility for different applications.
- Thread-Safe Message Queue: A custom queue ensures that incoming and outgoing messages are processed in the correct order.
- Asynchronous Operations: Fully asynchronous, leveraging mutexes to maintain message order while utilizing a single CPU core efficiently.
- Memory Management: Smart pointers guarantee no memory leaks, even in multi-threaded environments.
- Smart Wait: Reduces server utilization to zero during idle periods, awakening only when new messages are received.
- Multiplayer Ready: Ideal for multiplayer games or real-time applications where multiple clients need to communicate with a single server.
- Multiplayer games where the server coordinates messages between multiple clients.
- Any application requiring secure client-server communication with minimal resource usage and efficient message handling.
