## What it is
A C# framework for building lockstep multiplayer games like RTS, tower defense, and MOBA titles, integrated with Unity. It provides a deterministic math library, custom 2D physics engine, pathfinding, behavior systems, and desync detection.

## Use cases
- build a deterministic lockstep RTS game in Unity
- create a MOBA with synchronized multiplayer simulation
- make a tower defense game with deterministic physics
- detect and debug desyncs in lockstep multiplayer games
- implement size-based pathfinding for units of different sizes
- integrate lockstep networking with Photon or DarkRift

## When to choose
- you are building a lockstep multiplayer RTS, TD, or MOBA in Unity
- you need deterministic simulation with desync detection
- you want a ready-made deterministic physics and pathfinding solution for Unity

## When to avoid
- you need a framework actively maintained or updated for modern Unity versions
- your game is not deterministic lockstep-based
- you need 3D physics rather than a 2D X-Z plane simulation

## Facets
