Game Server

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).

Features

  • 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.

Getting Started

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.

MakeFile

Future enhancements

  • Implement load balancing for distributing player connections across multiple server instances.
  • Add more sophisticated matchmaking algorithms based on player skill levels.
  • Integrate with a message queue system for better scaling of game events processing.
  • Implement real-time analytics for monitoring server performance and player engagement.
