-Empires Game Protocol
-=====================
-Version: 0.6
-
-For a specific game the following API endpoints are defined.
-(Note: Only the trailing portion of the API URI is provided here.
- The preceding portions of the path must be determined externally.)
-
-/events
-
- This is a server-sent events stream that allows the server to push
- game-related events to clients. When a client connects to this API
- endpoint the server will return a header that includes:
-
- Content-type: text/event-stream
- Connection: keep-alive
- Cache-Control: no-cache
-
- and will keep the connection open to return events.
-
- The following event types will be returned by the server:
-
- TYPE: players
-
- WHEN: When a client first connects
-
- PURPOSE: Describes all players in the game already
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- event: players
- data: [{"id":1,"name":"Carl"},{"id":2,"name":"Kevin"}]
-
- TYPE: player-join
-
- WHEN: When a player joins the game
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- event: player-join
- data: {"id":3,"name":"Richard"}
-
- TYPE: player-leave
-
- WHEN: When a player leaves the game
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- event: player-leave
- data: {"id":3}
-
- TYPE: game-state
-
- WHEN: When client first connects and whenever game state changes
-
- VALUES: Event gives both the old and new state.
- Each will be one of the following:
-
- none: Pseudo-state used as old_state when game is started
- join: Players are choosing characters and joining the game
- reveal: Character names are being revealed to players
- capture: Players are guessing characters in capture attempts
-
- NOTE: When a client first connects, it may see multiple
- game-state transitions, to transition step-by-step from
- the initial state to the state of the current game. See
- the example below which would be presented to a client
- joining a game that is already in the "reveal state.
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- event: game-state
- data: {"old_state":"none","new_state":"join"}
-
- event: game-state
- data: {"old_state":"join","new_state":"reveal"}
-
- TYPE: character-reveal
-
- WHEN: Periodically during the "reveal" state of the game
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- event: character-reveal
- data: {"character":"Albert Einstein"}
-
- TYPE: capture
-
- WHEN: When one player captures another
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- event: capture
- data: {"captor": 2, "captee": 1}
