Roadtrip

Take a RoadTrip cross country with your friends... in your terminal!

RoadTrip is a casual multiplayer "background game" requiring little interaction and can be played at your own pace while working or doing other activities.

Current State

What comes before Alpha? Currently you can run the server and client and create a car which will travel from Seattle to Denver. No fancy features exist yet.

Design

RoadTrip is a client server application with the following components:

GameClient - Terminal application written in Go. Talks GraphQL to the API server. Displays the text UI.

API Server - GraphQL server written in typescript, apollo, prisma. Delegates some queries to the GameServer using gRPC.

GameServer - Go gRPC microservice to update live world data. Periodically persists state to postgres db via prisma.

Database - Postgres

The client is written in Go for cross-platform support. The API server is written in node/typescript with a postgres database and prisma. The server parts are built to run in containers using either Kubernetes or Docker Compose.
