+//! # RST Node
+//!
+//! RST Node is a real-time strategy game about computers on a
+//! network, fighting for dominance against a set of other network
+//! operators.  To operate a successful network you need to build
+//! infrastructure, compute clusters, and defences on edge nodes.
+//!
+//! The game architecture is split between the game client and game
+//! server.  This library implements all required types and functions
+//! to manage this state over a network connection.
+//!
+//! The main game interface is provided by [GameIf](crate::GameIf),
+//! which is them implemented by [Server](crate::server::Server), and
+//! [MatchClient](crate::client::MatchClient).
