- WebSocket-based communication for real-time interactions.
- Player registration, location updates, and score tracking.
- Broadcasting of player actions and game state to all connected clients.
- Periodic polling and broadcasting of player locations.
- Handling of player damage and respawn.
- Efficient Server Implementation
- The server is implemented in Go, using the lesismal/nbio/nbhttp package for WebSocket communication and Protobuffers for data serialization.
- Player Management: Players are stored in a concurrent map, with each player having an ID, name, health, position, and other attributes.
- Message Handling: The server listens for various message types (e.g., player registration, location updates) and handles each accordingly.
- Broadcasting: The server broadcasts player actions and game state updates to all connected clients.
- Scoreboard: A scoreboard keeps track of player scores, players score by killing other clients.
The server and client handle the following message types as defined by enums:
- REQUEST_PLAYERS
- REGISTER
- UPDATE_LOCATION
- POLL_LOCATIONS
- DAMAGE_PLAYER
- INIT_CAST
- RESPAWN_PLAYER
- REQUEST_SCOREBOARD
- PLAYER_DISCONNECT
Simplified network graph.
