Distributed-Game-Framework

Distributing computation of different game elements in separate machines to remove computation load from the game rendering machine. All game element computations are done in the server in a distributed manner. Client machines connect to server to begin game, and then communicate with Kafka servers to get game element informations.

Getting started

Distributed-Game-Framework requires Go >= 1.14 and a running Kafka >= 2.12 server.

Install Go Dependencies -

• go get -v -d -x github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/{sdl,img,mix,ttf}
  
• go get -v -d -x github.com/segmentio/kafka-go

Running for developemnt -

1. Start kafka server prefereable on port 9092.
2. Start server - go run server.go --kafkaAddress localhost:9092
3. In a new terminal start first client - go run client.go --clientAddress 127.0.0.1:5000
4. In another new terminal start second client - go run client.go --clientAddress 127.0.0.1:5001
5. Game starts once bootstrap is completed (5-7 seconds).
