## # Tron example
|
|
##
|
|
## In this tutorial, we will create a video game based on libp2p, using
|
|
## all of the features we talked about in the last tutorials.
|
|
##
|
|
## We will:
|
|
## - Discover peers using the Discovery Manager
|
|
## - Use GossipSub to find a play mate
|
|
## - Create a custom protocol to play with him
|
|
##
|
|
## While this may look like a daunting project, it's less than 150 lines of code.
|
|
##
|
|
## The game will be a simple Tron. We will use [nico](https://github.com/ftsf/nico)
|
|
## as a game engine. (you need to run `nimble install nico` to have it available)
|
|
##

|
|
##
|
|
## We will start by importing our dependencies and creating our types
|

|
|
import nico, chronos, stew/byteutils, stew/endians2
|
|
import libp2p
|
|

|
|
tickTime: float
|
|
localPlayer, remotePlayer: Player
|
|
peerFound: Future[Connection]
|
|
hasCandidate: bool
|
|
tickFinished: Future[int]
|
|
|
|
GameProto = ref object of LPProtocol
|
|
|
|
proc new(_: type[Game]): Game =
|
|
# Default state of a game
|
|
result = Game(
|
|
tickTime: -3.0, # 3 seconds of "warm-up" time
|
|
localPlayer: Player(x: 4, y: 16, currentDir: 3, nextDir: 3, color: 8),
|
|
remotePlayer: Player(x: 27, y: 16, currentDir: 1, nextDir: 1, color: 12),
|
|
peerFound: newFuture[Connection]()
|
|
)
|
|
for pos in 0 .. result.gameMap.high:
|
|
if pos mod mapSize in [0, mapSize - 1] or pos div mapSize in [0, mapSize - 1]:
|
|
result.gameMap[pos] = 7
|
|
|
|
## ## Game Logic
|
|
## The networking during the game will work like this:
|
|
##
|
|
## * Each player will have `tickPeriod` (0.1) seconds to choose
|
|
## a direction that he wants to go to (default to current direction)
|
|
## * After `tickPeriod`, we will send our choosen direction to the peer,
|
|
## and wait for his direction
|
|
## * Once we have both direction, we will "tick" the game, and restart the
|
|
## loop, as long as both player are alive.
|
|
##
|
|
## This is a very simplistic scheme, but creating proper networking for
|
|
## video games is an [art](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Latency_Compensating_Methods_in_Client/Server_In-game_Protocol_Design_and_Optimization)
|
|
##
|
|
## The main drawback of this scheme is that the more ping you have with
|
|
## the peer, the slower the game will run. Or invertedly, the less ping you
|
|
## have, the faster it runs!

## peer know that we are available, check that he is also available,
|

## and launch the game.
