Compile it yourself

To compile this yourself you will need to link websocketpp and cpr. It's recommended to install these through vcpkg.

Note: To get everything running you have to change the card-deck server endpoint in the "addDeck" function found in the Lobby.cpp unless you are running the deck-server on the same network

Making your own client

Content

Connection and basic packet structure

This is a websocket server that runs on port 9012.

Packets are always sent in json format.

For every packet you send you are expected to specify a requestId - which should always be unique.
The vue-client uses the library websocket-as-promised which implements requestId's by default.

All packets you receive will have the requestId you specified in them.

Flow

The first packet you are expected to send is a LoginRequest.
Then you can send a LobbyListRequest.
Then a CreateGameRequest or a JoinGameRequest.

List of packets that can be sent while in a lobby:

• Regardless of Lobby-State
  • KickRequest * Only works as host
  • LeaveLobbyRequest
  • SendChatMessageRequest
• While in lobby state
  • StartGameRequest * Only works as host
• While in game
  • CardPlayRequest * Only works as player
  • JokerCardRequest
  • CzarPickRequest * Only works as czar
