Bring Your Own Client

An online game with no client - challenge yourself by creating your own and compete with others.

Am I making it up as I go?

Definitely.

TO DO

Feel free to open an issue and claim something.

• Web Server (This part actually gets a UI)

  • Blazor Server
  • Logins stored in app
  • Admin account seeded through config variables
  • User Management
    • Create User
    • View Users
    • Remove Users
    • View API Keys
    • Revoke API Keys
  • Account Management
    • Generate API Key
    • Revoke API Key
    • Delete Account
  • Websockets (signalR) for game interaction, maybe supply other API types for the sake of allowing options
    • Validate API Key
    • Tennanted access to server resources
    • Issue commands e.g.
      • Get List of Units
        • Returns list of units
      • Get Unit
        • Returns detailed information about one unit
      • Issue command to unit e.g.
        • Move to
        • Attack
        • Gather
        • Drop
        • Build

• Add more systems to RTS

  • Refine world generation
  • Refine pathfinding
  • Add buildings
  • Add resources
  • Add unit health/actions/death

Plans

• Multiplayer RTS
• Intended as learning tool / game
• Self hosted - because I dont want to pay for servers.
• Grid based
• Configurable rate limiter - to stop players from overloading the server, probably redis
• Round based
• Dockerize it

Player Process

• Connect to server admin through http
• Create Account
• Generate Key
• Create client that uses key with API/websockets/whatever to control their units

Proof of concept plans

• Create basic game library for API logic, testing with a console app/unit tests
• Create web API with authentication and server management
• Connect web API actions to library actions
• Add persistence - sql/redis/whatever
