HumbleNet

What exactly is HumbleNet?

HumbleNet is a simple C API that wraps WebRTC and WebSockets and hides away all the platform differences between browser and non-browser platforms. The current version of the library exposes a simple peer-to-peer API that allows for basic peer discovery and the ability to easily send data (via WebRTC) to other peers. In this manner, you can build a game that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, while using any web browser — and they can all communicate in real-time via WebRTC. This means no central server (except for peer discovery) is needed to handle network traffic for the game. The peers can talk directly to each other.
