Gophercraft

The Gophercraft project provides 100% Go libraries and programs for research and experimentation with MMORPG software.

Gophercraft aims to target many different protocol versions through an all-in-one approach, instead of trying support every protocol version with its own Git branch.

At the moment it is functionally only a sandbox, but our hope is to extend its functionality further.

What works so far in Gophercraft Core:

• Registration
• Authentication
• Server selection
• Creating characters
• Moving around in the world (3368, 5875, 8606)
• Authentication and realm list server
• Authentication protocol client
• Game server
• Basic client connection library
• HTTP JSON API for facilitating registration
• Support for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
• Formatting/conversion tools written in pure Go
• Integrated mod manager

: Gophercraft is currently in development and extremely unstable: expect crashes, bugs, a general lack of features and a frequently changing API.

⚠️ WARNING: Gophercraft is currently prone to all sorts of game-ruining exploits, and requires additional hardening before you use it for your own project.

Don't hesitate to report errors or ask for clarification in the Discord!

Deployment
