Research project using 0 A.D. as a case study

[Loother]

Hi everyone,

My name is Luther, and I am a Computer Science graduate student located in Mexico.

I am currently working on my Master's thesis, which focuses on formal verification. For my research, I am planning to use the 0 A.D. engine's network code as a case study.

I would love to get in touch via email, Discord, or any other method with a developer who is familiar with the game's network architecture to ask a few questions about it.

Any info would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Luther

It's inspired by the network code found in AOE2, the original edition. A resource would be

Beyond that we use enet and @phosit has a move to quic in the works  https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8925

No discord, we are using irc , see the forum header, but none of us is highly active, so you would have to idle some time there to catch someone.
