athlos 0.0.5

A Dart package for implementing multiplayer online games.

The athlos package helps model multiplayer online games (and backends) by defining a data model and various behaviors and tools.

Gateway / Relay Baseline

Athlos now includes a baseline gateway routing layer:

• client -> gateway -> game server
• Authentication via pluggable GatewayAuthenticator
• Matchmaking via pluggable GatewayMatchmaker
• Load balancing via pluggable GatewayLoadBalancer
• Session routing via GatewaySessionRouter
• Basic DDoS/rate limiting via GatewayDdosGuard

The gateway can be exposed over TCP (GatewayTcpServer) and UDP (GatewayUdpServer), and returns backend route information + session IDs to clients.

HTTP Server

Athlos also includes a lightweight HTTP server with method/path routing:

• Register handlers with get, post, put, patch, delete, or route.
• Route by URL path and HTTP method.
• Built-in JSON/text response helpers via HttpRequestContext.
• Default 404 and 405 responses, plus optional custom not-found handler.

See example/http_server_example.dart for a minimal runnable setup.
