Class ServerLoop

Namespace

Shard.Server

Assembly

Shard.Server.dll

The server tick loop - a world-agnostic C# analogue of the Java TickingThread. Runs on a dedicated thread at TicksPerSecond with a measured variable delta and no tick catch-up (a long tick just yields a larger next delta), spinning/sleeping to the next deadline.

It is also an executor: Post(Action) queues work that runs on the tick thread, drained before and after each tick (the handoff point for the network layer). Each tick publishes a ServerTickEvent so modules can run per-tick logic.

(Per-World loops will follow this same shape once worlds land.)
