Multiplayer strategic sailing exploring game ⚓
The project consists of a multiplayer exploration RTS game (Real Time Strategy Game), that allows players to take control of a fleet of ships, explore a vast world, conquer islands, and engage in thrilling battles with other players.
This repository contains both the client application developed in Flutter & designed for mobile devices running on Android, and a back-end app hosted by the Google Cloud Platform.
Several technical concepts were worked on, namely Procedural Generation and pseudo-random noise algorithms such as Perlin Noise and Simplex Noise for the generation of the game's worlds, interpolation functions such as Bézier Curves, to represent the paths taken by the ships, and search algorithms such as A Star Algorithm to find paths between points.
-
Fleet Management: Players can control and manage a fleet of ships. They can set sail on a controlled path to explore the worlds content.
-
Exploration: The game provides a immersive but simple world for players to explore. They can navigate their ships across the seas and discover uncharted islands.
-
Island Conquest: Players can engage in conquests to claim and control islands.
-
Player Battles: Ship Conquest allows players to engage in exciting battles with each other.
In the following figure, a representative scheme of the system architecture is presented, also showing the technologies used in each module.
This repository is organized into two main directories: flutter and jvm.
The flutter directory contains the source code for the client application developed in Flutter. Here are some key files and directories within this directory:
-
lib/: This directory contains the main Flutter code for the client application. It includes various components, screens, and utilities used in the game. -
pubspec.yaml: This file specifies the dependencies and assets used in the Flutter project. -
README.md: A README file specific to the client application, providing additional details and instructions for running the client.
The jvm directory contains the source code for the backend application developed with Spring. Here are some key files and directories within this directory:
-
src/: This directory contains the main source code for the backend application. It includes controllers, services, and models used to handle API requests and manage game data. -
build.gradle: This file defines build settings and dependencies for the Gradle project. -
README.md: A README file specific to the backend application, providing additional details and instructions for running the server.
If you have any questions, issues, or suggestions regarding Ship Conquest, please feel free to contact the developers, Tomás Carvalho & Francisco Barreiras, via the GitHub repository or through other contact information provided in the repository's profile.
With the 2.0 version this project is currently on the Released Stage.
