  • Open architecture: with Redis as the message bus, easy to interact and extend.
  • Cluster: using PM2, sticky session, and socket.io-redis.
  • WebSocket protocol: come with javascript client API and web-based demo.
  • Event logger for server events and user actions.

TODO List:

  • Client API for Unity3D (C#, support mono/.NET2.0)
  • Payment gateway callback URL.
  • Admin Portal.
  • Load balancing: using NginX, or auto handled if deployed to Amazon Cloud.

Architecture

Architecture

Required

  • Redis

Redis is an open source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value cache and store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps and hyperloglogs.

Download

  • node.js / npm

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Download

  • PM2 (production & cluster)

PM2 is a production process manager for Node.js applications with a built-in load balancer. It allows you to keep applications alive forever, to reload them without downtime and to facilitate common system admin tasks.

Installation

  • Installing globally and run as service with PM2:
[sudo] npm install pm2 -g
[sudo] npm install casino-server -g

# run redis-server first
redis-server &

# run as service and cluster mode
pm2 start `which casino-server` -i 0
  • Installing as a node app, and run in current folder:
git clone https://github.com/floatinghotpot/casino-server.git casino
cd casino
npm install
# sudo npm install -g gulp
# gulp build
node bin/casino-server [options]

Now you can visit http://localhost:7000, it's a web-based game client for testing and demo purpose.

# open a browser to access the test web page
open http://localhost:7000/

Available Options:

-p Port to use (defaults to 7000)

-h Host address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)

-r Address of Redis server (defaults to 127.0.0.1:6379)

Tools

With Redis as the message bus, it's very easy for tools to work with the open architecture.

Event Logger

Start the event logger to monitor the events:

bin/logger.js

Or, log the events into log file:

bin/logger.js -o ./tmp/casino.log
