# Defense of the SnederDome

A quick and dirty prototype of a game server for snengame.

Contains local debug isntance (engine), server (server), and a client (client).

Written in-between concussion dizzy spells; some decisions made to minimize having to think hard about them.
Other decisions made to deal with Websockets, which I'm learning as I go, and having multiple games running.

## What's implemented
* All cards and effects (Jokers are Valkyires)
* A hacky loop to test out game commands
* Janky clients (one command prompt, one slightly nicer command prompt) and server

## What's not implemented
* better clients

## How to build
Run "make all" to generate all four binaries (engine,client,client2,server).

Otherwise, run "make [binary name]" to geneerate a specific one.

## How to use clients

"client" is a raw command line option that lets you control everything sent to the server outside of polling.
"client2" has a TUI interface that shows the current state at all times and will automatically update on server BroadcastUpdate events

Both use the following commands:

### Session Commands:

Session commands can be input at any time
Session commands are prefixed with "0":

	0 query: Tell the server you're looking for a game
	0 join: Join the game the server created for you
	0 leave: Leave the game and kill the client

### State Commands:
State commands are prefixed with "1":

	1 b: Tell the server you're ready. If both players have readied up, choose to go first and start the game
	1 s: Start your turn if possible
	1 e: End your turn if possible
	1 g: Get a copy of the current game state

### Action commands:
Action commands are prefixed with "2":

	2 s: Scry your life points in cards
	2 d <x>: Draw card at position x from your most recent scry
	2 p <x> <y>: play card at postion x in your hand to postion y on your side of the board (from the left)
	2 m <x> <y>: move card at position x on the board to position y on the board
	2 a <x> <y>: attack position y with card at position x on the board 

## How to test
Run the engine binary to use the built in game loop.

Commands are entered like so:

	s|a <player id> <command character> arguments

State Commands:

	d: Print debug screen
	g: Print game screen
	b: Begin game
	s: Start turn
	e: End turn
Action Commands:

	s: Scry your life points in cards
	d <x>: Draw card at position x from your most recent scry
	p <x> <y>: play card at postion x in your hand to postion y on your side of the board (from the left)
	m <x> <y>: move card at position x on the board to position y on the board
	a <x> <y>: attack position y with card at position x on the board 

Example Commands:

	s 1 d: (available to both players at any time) show debug screen
	s 1 g: (available to both players at any time) show game screen
	s 1 s: Start Player 1 (Sentinal)'s turn
	a 2 p 0 1: Player 2 (Scourge) places the card at hand position 0 on board position 1
	a 2 d 2: Player 2 (Scourge) draws the card at position 2 of their most recent scry

## Other notes:
Player 1 (the top side of the board) is known as Sentinal and is the first person to join the match.
Player 2 (the bottom side of the board) is known as Scourge.
