This repository contains the code for playing a distributed game of Battleships using gRPC. It has a server component as well as a client component.
The client contains a class which can be used to build a game client around. The main.py file contains a reference
implementation just to show how that could be done.
The server implementation is very loosely based on the Simon game, which can be found here: https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-simon-says. However, that was written entirely in Go, while this is written in Python.
The game works like this: 1) A client first joins a game server, which then registers an open game; 2) A second client joins a game server, which joins an existing open game; 3) The game servers (one for each client) communicate using Redis (with the Game ID as the unique channel); 4) Clients play moves (i.e., attack a square) and report states (hit or miss), which are forwarded by the servers; 5) The game finishes when a client reports a 'defeat' (meaning Game Over).
Clients communicate with game servers using gRPC (a stream-stream connection). They send attacks and reports, and receive the result of their actions (hit/miss) and information about whose turn it is.
