game_server_container

Game Server - Containerized Method

A game server to provide simple games, intended for testing of strategies, AI, and general playing around. As such, do not expect strong anti-cheat mechanisms, or really much of anything other than an impartial game server that can run separately from the client code.

Present State

Dreaming it up.

Architecture

All of this is brand new to me, so expect mistakes and amateur moves.

Giving FastAPI a shot. FastAPI inherits starlette, so look into that functionality some day, too. Expects a redis container/cluster somewhere to store data.

API Notes

At this point, almost all operations use POST

Notes for myself

FastAPI recommendation is "if your [function] doesn't have to communicate with anything else and wait for it to respond, use async def instead of def".
