the Steamworks API also includes the Steam GameNetworkingSockets

Take a look at the example to see the API usage.

About the generator

The generator was used initially to make the bindings, and those are manually updated.

It uses the steamworks_api.json to generate a single source file. Build the generator with odin build commands.

Note: The naming is slightly different than in the C/C++ API. For instance, things aren't prefixed with Steam, m_, k_, etc. Also _t suffixes for structs aren't used.
