Donet is a free and open source network engine designed after the Distributed Networking protocol, as defined in the high-level networking API of the Panda3D game engine, which was originally developed by Disney Interactive (formerly known as Disney VR Studios) to connect with their in-house server technology, the OTP (Online Theme Park) server, which was used to power their massive multiplayer online games, such as Toontown Online and Pirates of the Caribbean Online, from 2001 to 2013.
The Donet repository is a monorepo that houses two main Rust projects:
- donet - The Donet daemon source, which includes all the Donet services. See donet-server.org.
- donet-core - The core utilities for Donet services, including datagram utilities and the DC language parser. See docs.donet-server.org.
Please read the introduction to Donet for an overview of the project and how the engine works.
