Rogue Boss

Simple "Boss Battle" simulator for building communities.

Application Description

Rogue Boss is an application that implements mini "boss battles" for users to interact with a front end. A boss is chosen randomly from a list, given a type (see types). Users can attack the boss via an open-front end implementation provided by developers that utilize Rogue Boss. Rogue Boss acts as a back end application that can receive RESTful API requests to attack the boss while also storing boss data locally using a JSON format. Rogue Boss also implements a simple GUI that contains a simple animation and health bar indicating the current status of each events that are send via the API.

This application as it stands leaves choices for other developers on how they want to call the API. This application is not responsible for providing a front end interface for calling the API.

Application Context

Rogue Boss contains three different main components: the REST API, for frontend interfaces to interact with, the User Interface, for displaying events received from the REST API, and the JSON datastore, stored at /home/Documents/narlock/RogueBoss/boss.json contains the information of the current boss. This is used to persist the data when the application starts and shuts down.

API Specification

GET /rban

Pings the Rogue Boss application. This should be utilized to ensure connection to the API is stable and that the GUI displays the correct boss information. When the application is started, the application will call this endpoint to ping the graphics panel.

{
    "note": "Critical hit! 6 damage dealt.",
    "slain": false,
    "boss": {
        "level": 3,
        "bossType": "SLIME",
        "type": "DARK",
        "health": 1290,
        "damageList": [
            {
                "id": "123",
                "damage": 6
            }
        ],
        "name": "DARK SLIME LV3"
    }
}

The damageList attribute of the response will contain information of each user attacking the boss. The damage sub-attribute will add the new damage number indicated by the note field.
