Acelta

RuneScape emulation rethought; Acelta reimagines with elegant, highly-performant solutions.


Zero-garbage packet receiving

Acelta receives packets in a straightforward, no-overhead dispatch system for which it is trivial to both listen and define incoming packets.

PacketConductor eliminates the necessity for individual pipeline handlers for different game states.

Zero-garbage packet sending

Acelta uses simplistic function definitions to define outgoing packets. This system works in concert with the "one buffer per session" approach to minimize write overhead.

Because of this approach, no Netty encoder is needed. Packet queueing is completely avoided for both incoming and outgoing packets in favor of spare flushing.

Single thread for the whole server

Using a single game thread allows you to use simplistic, overhead-free techniques and libraries.
