Re-doing the documentation site once again, this time I’m using VitePress instead of Moonwave which looks way nicer:

I’m also adding videos to most doc pages per request of @CmdrRaine

CanaryEngine is a framework which combines the usage of BridgeNet2 and GoodSignal modules which helped optimization and it comes with other libraries such as BlueSerializer and etc.

Well… What is CanaryEngine?

CanaryEngine is the all new framework for all your games and projects, no matter the size of them. I’ve personally used it for all of my projects, and it works great despite the scale of each one. I designed the framework to have a super optimized networking and signal system. It combines the usage of @ffrostfall’s BridgeNet2 and and @stravant’s GoodSignal modules, which helps it be optimized by a ton.

It also comes with many other libraries built in, such as @commitblue’s BlueSerializer and the framework’s own Utility, Benchmark, and Statistics modules. They each cover many of the edge cases that come up lots of times during the development process. A fine example of this is saving instances in datastores.

It was made to be complex, but also easy to learn which is what mainly makes the framework stand out from the others. I have covered almost all of the API and libraries in our documentation, be sure to check that out before starting out with the framework.

Our goal while creating this framework was to not intrude on the developers code, but instead let them customize their experience and give them basic tools along the way, such as the built-in networking system. I have found myself that this actually makes the process of developing a project way faster than before, and is just nicer to work with overall when stuff isn’t practically shoved down your throat.

though I am just providing you the point

lolmansReturn if it’s copying the OP then let me know about that

Also I like that im replying to another acocunt with “VSCPlays”

The thing is I still dont understand why someone should use canary engine, what exactly does it makes easier. And what does it really do? Does it just optimize networking and events?

Brilliant mate, that will really help people get started.

Is this recommended to a beginner or do they need more experience

bytesleuth · September 28, 2023, 5:01pm

Well in the title it says Engine and framework.

VSCPlays · September 28, 2023, 5:36pm

“Engine” is a part of the name “CanaryEngine”

It is a framework though

Are you familiar with single script structure?, if so I think you could start using this.

2jammers · September 28, 2023, 8:06pm

Yes, you can use any setup you want really.

2jammers · October 1, 2023, 12:56am

Updated the discord server a little bit, feel free to join once again if you’re a user.

Big structure changes are in the work.

d5_ax · October 4, 2023, 8:29pm

It’s not too complicated to use honestly, if you know basic scripting you’ll learn in fairly quick

TheFoxNinjaYT · October 6, 2023, 12:03am

Could you elaborate as to why bridgenet was removed?

2jammers · October 6, 2023, 2:20am

It’s unreliable in a few areas and Red enforces better practices on the developer.

2jammers · October 7, 2023, 3:34am

WARNING POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGES:

Our API will now adapt to using tuples, which means if you use :Fire("ddasdas") -- w/o table you may be affected. This will not longer return a table with that item inside, and instead the string itself.

Please make sure you’re ready for this change, thank you!

2jammers · October 12, 2023, 4:22am

Been working on a few major changes recently, v4 is probably the best update yet.

View the entire changelog here, it’s not released just yet but will be by this weekend!

2jammers · October 14, 2023, 3:56am

Canary 4 has been released!

2jammers · November 21, 2023, 5:34am

Canary 5 has been released, comes with a new bug free plugin and a new even more lightweight framework to build on. Have fun!

Is it worth switching from Knit?
