NUCLEUS

Precision networking,
without the overhead.

Every byte counts in multiplayer. Nucleus is engineered to give you surgical control over what gets sent, when, and to whom — with zero compromise on performance.

Seven modules.
One CoreManager.

Instantiate one CoreManager and the engine bootstraps itself. Every sub-manager wires up, cross-subscribes, and the tick loop stands ready.

Clean API.
Minimal boilerplate.

Get a networked game running in minutes. Nucleus handles the complexity so you can focus on building your game.

// Bootstrap the entire engine with one line
CoreManager core = new();

// Add a real UDP transport (LiteNetLib)
Transport transport = await core.TransportManager
    .AddTransportAsync<Tugboat>();

// Start listening as an authoritative server
await core.TransportManager.ConnectAsync(Invoker.Server);

// React to clients joining
core.ServerManager.ClientAuthenticated += (Connection client) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Player {client.Id} connected");
};

// Drive it from your game loop
core.NetworkLoopManager.Start();

Engineered for
competitive play.

Every design decision in Nucleus prioritises performance. Bit packing, delta replication, and object pooling combine so your game uses less bandwidth, less CPU, and less memory — every tick.

Your engine.
Your rules.

// Production — real UDP over the internet
await core.TransportManager.AddTransportAsync<Tugboat>();

// Testing — offline in-process loopback
await core.TransportManager.AddTransportAsync<Yak>();
