A multiplayer game server that can be configured for any multiplayer game and changes be made accordingly.
Built using Go and Gorilla WebSocket(A Go implementation of the WebSocket protocol).
- Real-time Websocket Communication: Utilizes gorilla/websocket for efficient, bidirectional communication between server and clients.
- Robust Matchmaking System: Automatically groups players into games of 6(default - can be configured).
- Scalable Architecture: Designed to handle multiple concurrent games and players.
- Player Inactivity Detection: Automatically disconnects inactive players and updates the game state.
- Game State Management: Efficiently manages and updates game states for all active games.
- Database Integration: Uses SQLite for persistent storage of player data and game history.
- RESTful API Endpoints: Provides endpoints for player creation, game closure, and retrieving player game history.
- Graceful Game Closure: Implements a mechanism to safely close games and disconnect players.
- Health Check System: Includes a comprehensive health check for monitoring database connections and server status.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
A client simulation is provided for testing the server's capabilities: Simulates multiple concurrent player connections. Automatically creates and closes games. Sends periodic player actions to test real-time communication.
- Ensure Go is installed on your system.
- Clone the repository.
