Glossary (aka our Ubiquitous Language of Domain Terms in the game)

  • Location: this is the player's hex tile location on the board, identified by a unique descriptor (hi Value Object!)

  • Member: this is our own storage of people who are eligible to become a player in a game, with:

    • a "nickname" that is used for addressing them in non-game situations
      • the "nickname" becomes the default name within the game (can be overridden inside the game or when joining the game)
    • an "authName" that is the Security Principal.getName(), which we will get from external AuthN service (e.g., Kinde, GitHub, Google, etc.)
      • we use this to identify and lookup the Member in our MemberStore repository

Joining vs. Connecting vs. Observing

  • Joining a game means that you have "signed up" for a game, but are not "connected" (this is a "domain" point of view)

  • Connecting a game means that you have connected to the back-end via a WebSocket (nice to have: verify that you actually joined the game and should be allowed to be here!) and are active

  • Observing a game means that you are not a player in the game, but can see the game by connecting to it

REMINDER: goal of this implementation is NOT to enforce any rules (who can do what, when), but to provide a way for folks who are using a video conferencing tool (Zoom, etc.) to communicate "out of band" to deal with rules, who's turn it is, who left, etc.
