🎯 About This Game
This project implements the simplistic tic-tac-toe game. We use it as a test bed for the multiplayer framework. The main workflow will also be the same in the coming larger games.
📖 Rules of Tic-Tac-Toe
Tic-Tac-Toe is a quick and simplistic two-person game, played by placing stones on a 3x3 game field. The player who gets a straight row of three stones wins.
Setup:At the beginning, you create or join a playing room. The room name must be agreed upon by other communication means (e.g., Discord).
Gameplay: Players take turns placing stone on the board. When the game is over, it automatically restarts now with the other player.
Winning: The game ends when the board is full, or one player gets three stones in a row.
🎮 How to Play
Starting the Game: At the beginning, you are either joining or creating a room. When you create a room, you decide if you allow spectators.
Making Moves: The headline indicates whose turn it is to make a decision. Click on an empty slot.
Game End: When the game ends, the winner is shown at the top of the screen. After 5 seconds, it automatically restarts.
⚙️ Technical Details
The game is built entirely in Rust using the Macroquad framework and compiled to WebAssembly. The network part uses dedicated technology:
- Websockets: The communication is done over websockets to be able to establish connections in all environments.
- Client Hosted Server: The game host is also running in a browser on the client side.
- Tokio / Axum Relay Server: Beside the web server, we host a dedicated server based on Tokio/Axum to establish communication between different browsers.
