pitaya

Pitaya is an simple, fast and lightweight game server framework with clustering support and client libraries for iOS, Android, Unity and others through the C SDK. It provides a basic development framework for distributed multiplayer games and server-side applications.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Go >= 1.10
etcd (used for service discovery)
nats (optional, used for sending and receiving rpc, grpc implementations can be used too if prefered)
docker (optional: used for running etcd and nats dependencies on containers)

Installing

clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/topfreegames/pitaya.git

setup pitaya dependencies

make setup

Hacking pitaya

Here's one example of running Pitaya:

Start etcd (This command requires docker-compose and will run an etcd container locally. An etcd may be run without docker if prefered.)

cd ./examples/testing && docker-compose up -d etcd

run the connector frontend server from cluster_grpc example

make run-cluster-grpc-example-connector

run the room backend server from the cluster_grpc example

make run-cluster-grpc-example-room

Now there should be 2 pitaya servers running, a frontend connector and a backend room. To send requests, use a REPL client for pitaya pitaya-cli.

$ pitaya-cli
Pitaya REPL Client
>>> connect localhost:3250
connected!
>>> request room.room.entry
>>> sv-> {"code":0,"result":"ok"}

Running the tests

make test

This command will run both unit and e2e tests.
