- Rollback netcode helps games feel responsive despite latency by predicting inputs and correcting mispredictions later.
- Easel simplifies multiplayer game development by handling rollback netcode automatically, allowing developers to code as if in a singleplayer environment.
- Rollback netcode requires determinism and the ability to snapshot and restore game states, which Easel guarantees.
- Easel's rollback netcode features include incremental snapshotting, true peer-to-peer networking, and fair latency distribution.
- Easel uses Cloudflare for secure, efficient peer connections and employs server-authoritative models to prevent cheating.
- The platform ensures determinism across all operations, avoiding desynchronization bugs common in other engines.
- Easel's design specifically supports multiplayer games, with features like snapshotting executing code and continuous time synchronization.
- Developers don't need to understand the underlying technology to create multiplayer games with Easel.
