A self-challenge to build a simple client-server game with as few libraries as possible.

FUN BOARD

A simple client-server implementation of multiple board games made from scratch with as few libraries as possible - if not none - using GoLang as the backend server, Javascript for the frontend and HTML5's iframe as the viewport.

I define a Library as :

• Something not included de-facto in the language
• Some unofficial patch you can download to upgrade the language
• Any Framework is a set of libraries
• Any extension that requires download from a remote source (e.g JQuery or Bootstrap)

How to execute

Linux only at the moment

Tested on Linux Mint 17

1. Install GoLang >= 1.11
2. clone the repo on your $GOPATH Do NOT use go install !
   1. I haven't tested with go install, but i have a guess it may not work properly.
3. go to the root folder of fun_board (the one with .gitignore and stuff)
4. type in chmod +x build.sh && ./build.sh
5. cd bin && ./server
6. go to localhost:8080
7. Enjoy !

fun_board's Issues

Add redirection on the /connect

Only respond to POST on /connect

implement the front-end

add some tests to the key methods

Use golang's net Listener to have Real-time comm.

see https://golang.org/pkg/net/#example_Listener

Add a way to hot-swap the game without restarting the server
