ygopro compatibility #144

Open Timtam opened 6 years ago

Timtam commented 6 years ago

It would be amazing to have a ygopro server as well. Now that we have rooms, sighted players would be able to join a room with their ygopro client of choice and duel against mud players directly.

Hi. What would be the steps we would need to take in order to do this @Timtam

Timtam commented 4 years ago

Quite a few, the entire server would need to be re-structured and partly rewritten. We'd need to reverse engineer the server messages required to configure and initiate a duel from within a sighted client (YgoPro2 for example). There is a mercurial server out there somewhere that we should re-implement partly here. Then we'd need to write a duel backend that can receive, understand and respond to YgoPro client duel commands and communicate with our own current duel system to exchange messages and translate whatever action the other player does to the corresponding message set. That would over all take quite a long time and would require alot of reviewing, testing and probably at least a few unit tests to be sure that the critical parts work well. Proper error handling/debugging would be necessary too. We'd first need to find out how the duel negotiation works in YgoPro2, so that we can rewrite our system to work the same way. i'm pretty sure that I already worked alot into the right direction though.

Thats more of an evaluation ticket to extrapolate the required steps to take, as Nicklas already suggested. The implementation needs to be defined in much more granular steps later on.
