Multiplayer Simon Says - A Game using gRPC and Kubernetes.

This is an example project using gRPC and Kubernetes to build a multiplayer version of the game "Simon Says".

It has been implemented in multiple languages to highlight the variety of supported languages that gRPC gives you out of the box.

  • /go
    An example server implementation using Go and Redis
• /client
  Client implementations written in a variety of languages and platforms
  • /java-android
    Client implementation for Android written in Java.
  • /java-cli
    Client implementation in Java for command line.
  • /node-arduino
    Client impementation in Node.js for Arduino
  • /node-web

gRPC Communication

The following animation shows the way in which gRPC sends message over it's bidirectional streaming connection, to enable gameplay.

Here we can see:

• Two players on different devices joining the game,
• Being notified it is their turn
• Communicating a button press on their clients
• Being told to light up given colors
• When the game has ended, because a sequence is incorrect
• Who has won the game in the end
