Atomic-Build

Atomic build is a project that allows project members to fire virtual atomic bombs to team members or get bombed by applications such as Hudson.

The server sends out alarm signals. Signals are "Stand-down", "Alarm Phase 1", "Alarm Phase 2", "Alarm Phase 3", "Nuclear war".

The server has a way to convert incoming calls to an signal send to the clients.

Incoming signal can arrive from: command line, a Hudson Plugin or custom hardware via USB.

A typical scenario would be:

• Hudson sending a build failure call.
• Alarm phase 1 is send
• Hudson sending new failure call
• Alarm phase 2 i send
• 30 seconds later alarm is raised to 3
• 15 seconds later the client receive a nuclear warhead

or

• Hudson sending a build failure call.
• Alarm phase 1 is send
• Hudson sending new failure call
• Alarm phase 2 I send
• The custom hardware is used to override and alarm phase with stand down
• Server sends distress call to custom hardware

Applications

The entire server with custom hardware should be no larger than 40 x 30 x 20 cm

Server

Small daemon application that can run on a Rasberry Pi

Can have different plugins for operations

• command line input + output
• custom hardware plugin
• Hudson

Uses the Eth to communicate with Hudson and clients

Signal to clients are UDP packages

Clients connect via a pub sub mechanism. Doing a search on port 37591

Written in Java / Groovy / Scala / Clojure

Custom hardware

Has a button to signal stand down Has a speaker to play Alarm Phase 3 music Has a speaker to play stand down music Has a alarm light for Alarm Phase 2 and 3 Has a blinking distress light

Hardware is operated via a plugin on the server wired via USB.

Clients

When the nuclear war is passed a full screen video of an Atomic Explosian is shown. Second before the explosion the screen is already shaking and giving bits of static.

Windows 7

A daemon running somewhere small and visible. Can display Green/Yellow/Red. Written in .NET or C#/C++

OSX

A daemon running somewhere small and visible. Can display Green/Yellow/Red Written in Objective C

Linux

Daemon only In Java or C

Tablets

In Android or Objective C

Goal

The goal of this application

• do low level networking (udp)
• learn how to create a windows application
• learn how to create a osx application
• work with the Pi
• DIY wood + electronics + lights
• have fun!

Approach

1. Write Socket server

---

Do not use any dependencies. Try to get the code (in Java as lean and readable as possible)

Running the server:

• add bin folder to the PATH
• call atomic-run.sh

1a. Write cmd line plugin ./CommandLineClient.groovy or goorvy CommandLineClient.groovy

1b. Write web plugin

Using Rails TO BE DONE

2. Write Java client

Under ./clients/javafx-client

Running this client:

• copy JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/jfxrt.jar to JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext
• use JAva 7 u11 or newer
• add bin folder to the PATH
• call client-run.sh

3. Write native Windows client

4. Write native Mac client

5. Write Hudson plugin

6. Wire hardware

---

6a. Write USB Processing plugin Using Processing programming language we can talk to the Arduino:

server <--> processing plugin <--> arduino

10. Install @ work :-)
