Doing your own custom compression by bit packing your data will give you better results than ZLib for game sized packets. If you are sending packets bigger than around 50 bytes, zlib might help you squeeze them further.<br>

Hi!<br>
<br>
I'm currently thinking of what compression algorithm would be best to implement into a ENet based game?<br>
Compression algorithms like ZIP would couse to much overhead. Algorithms like ZIP are designed for compressing huge files and not small network packets. What algorithm can be used for this?<br>
What are you guys using in your projects?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
